Default Re: Weeping rear main seal

That's the problem that I want to remedy rather than spend a lot of money to replace the seal at this time. It's not even leaving oil on my driveway.
Thinking outside the box with an idea. Hope I can explain this to where someone understand my idea. In the area where the oil leaks from the bellhousing I plan to make a sheet metal holder where a lady's sanitary napkin could be slid in and out regularly by a string. It would be screwed onto the bellhousing Ok now everyone can laugh at me! LoL
That is a good idea, just do not forget to change it periodically.
