12a install leak!!
I just installed a rebuilt 12a, started up no problem, however i do have a problem. An oil leak!! It's leaking between the engine and the transmission, oil hit's the fylwheel and spits it all over the inside of the transmision case and then drips down, a lot. It is clean oil i checked the engine oil and it seems to be fine. Anyone have any ideas where it could be comming from? Thnaks

Sounds like the rear main seal is leaking. It is found beneath the flywheel and is a cheap part to buy. You do however have to remove the tranny to take the flywheel off and replace it. That is about the only place it can come from on the inside of the bellhousing if it is engine oil.
