Default oil leak rear main

Hi,
I'm french, and live in Brittany, West of France.
Please excuse me for my english. I can read it easily but it's more difficult for me to speak it or write it ;
I'm a 1928 Model A phaeton owner. it is a family car my father bought 30 years ago in Uruguay.
The engine has been rebuild there at this time. the car had not driven for 20 years and I restart it.


It has a real leak at the rear. I mean a leak, not just a drop. And it is worst just after engine is stopped. I read several threards on this forum.
Oil level is ok, just above L
Oil filler tube is ok and new. I even tried to run the engine without cap.
Rear cork seal of the oil pan is properly sealed
I pulled the 3 bolt of the inspection cover and had a look while engine was running : oil seems to come from the rear main.
I dropped the oil pan. Drain tube seems to be ok.
I attach 3 pictures.

Can someone tell me if there is something wrong or excessive play visible on these pictures.
Thanks !
