I have been building my EB for several years... I didn't have any agregious oil leaks when I first took it apart... I've been driving it around some these last few weeks and have a pretty big leak coming out between the dust shield and the bellhousing, moisture at the clutch fork hole, and a slight moisture at the driver's side head. The oil in the motor is fresh and looks brand new when it drips. I also only have 25 lbs. of oil pressure at idle, and 50 while driving.
I had a hard tiem getting the oilpan to seal in the back the first time I did it... I thought I had it under control this time, but maybe not.
I am wanting to go on a trailride this weekend, and was wondering several things:
1) does this sound like it is a rear main seal?
2) I won't have to drop my tranny to replace the rear main seal will I? I was thinking I could loosen bearing caps without pulling the tranny. wrong?
3) Is it possible that I have failed to ensure a good seal on the rear seal of the oilpan?
I know NOTHING about motors and have had hell with my old POS 302... any Ideas guys?
