After you have gone thru the obvious things, and still have a leak, go to the website of Antique engine rebuilding in Skokie Ill. You can google antique engine rebuilding and find him... He has an explanation of what to do to fix. I followed his directions about pulling the rear main bearing, and setting the clearance to about 1 thousandths, and my car doesn't leak a drop of oil now, where it was leaking a lot before. My engine had been rebuilt and new mains poured but the rebuilder didn't shim it to the correct tolerances. I'm a happy camper now when I park my A on the driveway.
