I recently replaced my rear main while I had the engine out in my 74 ( 351w ). Here is a thread I had when I did it. http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=202515
It would appear that it is still leaking and its probably worse than before in some ways. Previously, it had the annoying drip on the garage floor. Now I still get oil on the garage floor but it is the worst right after I start it. If i start it up and back it into the driveway to warm up for a bit it will leak bad for several minutes but it will get much better after it gets up to temperature. After I put the engine back in, it didn't leak at all the first few times I ran it then it got progressively worse. Obviously, I'm not very excited to do this a second time. Maybe my leak is someplace other than the rear main but the oils is definitely coming down between the block and the bell housing.
Suggestions?
