I cleaned up the bottom of the engine, crossmember, bellhousing. I doublechecked the front seals and they look ok. I removed the oil fill cap and blew through the flame trap (after cleaning) and oil separator to make sure there wasn't any blockages. That all seemed fine. I even changed the oil filter to make sure it wasn't that gasget. I started the engine and looked directly at the rear main seal, but couldn't see any fluid coming out, however after a 200 mile trip I could see the telltail drips of engine oil coming from the bell housing vent. I ordered a new rear seal and seal carrier gasget. Man, I'm not looking forward to taking that oily transmission out again, but the good news is that all the necessary tubing has already been cut and spliced, fill tube nuts have been loosened, and the bellhousing bolts shouldn't be as difficult.
