mysterious series 3 oil leak

Posted by Jonathan on January 20, 2003 at 12:16:04:

Hello all. I'm a brand new LR owner. I just bought a 73 series 3 and drove from Reading, PA to Dallas, TX. It ran great! The only problem is that right when I shut the engine off oil drips out of the drain hole of the bell housing. The guy I bought it from said he pulled the engine and replaced the rear main seal three times in an attempt to stop the leak. It doesn't drip when the car is running nor when it is stopped-only for a few seconds when the car is first turned off. Sometimes several ounces leak out and other times there's just a small puddle. Any help would be appreciated! I live in Dallas, TX. Thanks!
