1931 Roadster, oil drip in reverse
I drive my roadster on average 50 miles per week -- trips to Lowes/Home Depot, ice cream, etc. runs fine, no problems. Doesn't seem to use any oil --I've topped it off with a half a quart in the past 4 months. (I know, that probably figures out to roughly a quart in 600 to 800 miles.) My problem occurs when I stop and back into my drive way -- I leave a trail of oil drips. I'm not sure why a rear main seal would appear to leak in reverse.
I'm just puzzled, not concerned. If I was concerned I'd just go old school and hang a lard pail under the rear main. (Recycling at its finest.)
