Leaking Oil while engine runs
Hopefully this photo is attached. I have oil leaking from a small hole in flywheel housing(?). It leaks when running but stopped when engine turned off. This car (30 pickup) has a later ('39) transmission, so I am not sure if I am looking at a 1930 portion of the transmission or the 39. Any help appreciated.

I would guess that the drain tube on the rear main is wither missing or it's plugged - or the passageway that the pipe fits into is plugged.

Rear main be have excessive clearance from wear also. Check the clearance

Re: Leaking Oil while engine runs
John,
Make SURE it's not GEAR OIL. A friend had his engine out 3 times, fussin' around with the rear main, BEFORE he discovered it was TRANSMISSION OIL! Bill W.

That hole should also have a large cotter pin to shake and keep the oil and dirt from plugging the hole.
