Here's what I know: I have a series II engine with the newer (non-rope) seal. About 2 months ago it developed a significant oil leak noted after returning from a 500 mile round trip to Jensen East. The leak is on the passenger side and threw oil all along the underside of the car on the passenger side. I cleaned off the majority of the oil and watched as I've driven the car since. I can't see where it's coming from, but oil is pooling on the engine (in one of those cooling fin / valleys) under the starter.
The car otherwise seems to run fine, but transiently at Jensen East the clutch would chatter on take off as if it were slipping. This has since stopped, but maybe it was a result of oil on the clutch from a leaking rear seal?
So what do you think? Does this sound like a rear main seal gone bad?
Thanks,
Ross
