Default Re: Uphill oil leak

From my calculation at an angle of 16 degrees the oil level at the back of the engine will be around 1/2 inch below the bottom of the block. This would then allow the oil to pour downwards through the rear main bearing. So a check valve would make sense in that situation. But I am fairly sure my problem is not due to that situation.
