New Type Oil Pan Gasket Installation

[Four Lazy C Boss]

My 1930 Coupe has less than 500 miles on the rebuilt engine and drips a little oil from back of the pan where it goes around the rear main. I called the professional shop in Georgia which did the restoration and asked the owner about. He said (in a very southern drawl) "Whall........They all do that.......and if it ever stops drippin oil.....you're probably out of oil." I said, "are you telling me not to worry about it?" He said, "I'm telling you not to worry about it."

I got a drip pan for my garage floor. After reading this thread, I am convinced I made the right decision. It doesn't leak enough to show a decline on the dipstick.
