Default Re: Uphill oil leak

Bob Johnson,

The last time that I observed a rear main leak as profound as what you are showing in your video, was due to the rear main babbitt separating from the cap and was moving back and forth when the clutch was depressed.

There was a transverse crack at the rear portion and another at the front, the oil was travelling through the cracks, going between the babbit and the cap and exiting through the rear.
