Oil runs out the back somewhere. Engine is out, got a newer oil pan which I am looking to get restored somewhere. Farm it out for lack of tools, patience, and ability. Is the rear oil seal that hard to replace? What else would cause that? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,746 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,746 | Check the "freeze" plug at the back of the camshaft bore. If it has come loose for some reason the oil pressure will vent into the bellhousing. A bad rear main bearing seal WILL NOT affect the oil pressure. It will just cause a puddle.

With the engine out it's easier to check | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 39 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 39 | The oil pressure gauge line connects at the back corner on the side of the block. Make sure the line is not broken or missing.
