Been road-test driving 83 245 after engine rebuild,M46 tranny swap(with an 86 aluminum housing) and OD rebuild. Everything works great...no leaks from OD (red ATF is the clue). However one little drop of motor oil shows up just below the clutch at the junction of the reinforcing bracket and the bell housing. One drop.
Does this mean the rear main seal is leaking? Will it spray oil onto the clutch disc? What to do?
Thanks for any ideas,
el Raidman
