Ok, I use to have a leak on left side facing engine on flywheel housing. It was do to a poor gasket. I RTV'ed new gasket and no leak. I moved chassis and tarped it so I can paint my body. It is parked on a decline nose down and I just get home from work and oil is on the housing face. The oil should be up front. How does this happen????

That is for sure, Mitch....what a pain that would be. Painting tomorrow and will post pics. No laughing! Had a Mexican guy wanting to buy my Briggs...It clearly states it is only a body. Pictures show it is only a body. He comes by (very broken English) and asked where the rest is?? I shook my head and had to let my iPhone translate to him. What a waste of time.Comment

I just got off work and some more oil on housing. I did per James and tightened pan bolts. they actually had some play in them. Wiped it down and will check again. The car is nose forward facing down a slope....how does oil that is below "F" mark on dipstick get back there....Comment

I have a small oil leak coming out between the flywheel housing and the inspection plate. The half moon plate between the pan and flywheel housing. It is not coming from the hole at the bottom of the flywheel housing. What is causing this. I ran the engine for about 10 minutes at the garage with the cover off and I could not see any oil coming out. But with the cover on, and out on the road it leaks....09-05-2020, 04:19 PM -
I had the oil leaks in my car down to a slow trickle (from a relative torrent when I got it) but then pulled the motor/trans for some freshening. Was VERY careful in assembly (I thought) to button everything up nice but now find that the oil leak at the back is worse than before. Not as bad as when I got it (the drainback tube was missing) but quite bad. I've been going over and over what I could...08-12-2020, 07:08 PM -
I remember in the past this being brought up and I think it was George Miller that commented one of the bolts holes near the camshaft at the back of the block goes through. Well the last time I forgot to seal that bolt when I put it back together. And yes she was a leaker. I also discovered the hole on the left side above the crankshaft journal goes through. So it's sealer for both of those bolts...07-05-2018, 04:31 AM -
So I have installed a new cam gasket with RTV which helped very much as the other gasket had gotten wet/dried wrinkled. I was having oil only when shut down come on left side of fly housing down to center. I have snugged the pan bolts as rebuilder suggested and still have this. It really is not bad per say but how can oil come when car hasn't been started going on two weeks and has sat at a decline????...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I am FINALLY reinstalling my rebuilt engine. Engine in; drivetrain/tanny all in. There is no way to fit the shims that fit at the throttle linkage. The housings are totally mated. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.12-17-2018, 04:52 PM -
Hi, everyone. I'm George Smullen of Waupun, Wisconsin. I'm 81 years young and bought my first car, a stock 1931 Model A coupe when I was 16 years old. That's 65 years ago. I recently bought a 1929 Special Model A coupe. As I looked underneath the car I bought, I saw that it dripped oil while parked. "All Model A' drip oil," the owner told me. I don't recall my car from my youth dripping...10-03-2020, 11:08 AM

I have a little oil along the seam below the
oil dip stick. Is that blow back from dip stick or leak of oil pan gasket ?03-19-2020, 10:04 PM -
Maybe I shouldn't make any fuss about it, but after replacing the oil pan gaskets and getting rid of the oil leak from the pan, the few drops of oil from the transmission is annoying. The tower has been rebuilt and has a new gasket, the drain and fill plus are nice and tight, but there is still a couple of drops a day (dripping from the drain plug, but coming from somewhere else). The oil is 50/50...04-08-2019, 07:07 PM -
Just bought a new to me 1929 model a pickup. Engine runs fine with no knocks. After a 20 minute test drive and parked on concrete, oil flowed out of flywheel housing. A area approximately 18 inches In diameter. Oil also leaking from left side of engine pan and base of oil fill pipe.
I have all of Les Andrews books. Question, is it possible to remove pan and the rear main cap for inspection...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

So I've been driving this car a week or two now, parked in garage it leaks no oil, go for a drive and come back and park it on driveway and it drips oil from the weep hole in the bell housing for 5 or 10 minutes after I return. Clearly leaking while running. Read some about clogged oil return line from the rear main bearing, and other issues regarding leak at bearing and/or seal. Have read other sources...11-13-2019, 09:34 AM
