Last 3 or 4 months noticing an increasing oil drip around the engine/transmission seam on my '64, and when I took a quick look underneath last week, figured rear main seal was leaking. Put it up on jackstands today and did a closer inspection, including removing inspection cover. Turns out oil filter canister seal was the culprit, so a quick oil and filter change with new seal cured the leak. Wiped it all down and drove around for 1/2hr, then placed a piece of cardboard underneath, and after a few hours, it's leak free.

My almost fifty year old 1967 with original gaskets and seals is not so forgiving. I tolerate a small oil film on the garage floor after a day of driving.............especially during the colder months when these seals behave the worst.

I wouldn't mind it marking it's spot a little, but it kept growing and growing!

It's great it turned out to be a simple fix. I had a similar experience a few weeks ago. Started seeing a small oil puddle under the car. The problem turned out to be the oil drain plug. New plug and gasket and no more puddles. Life is good.

If my 66 stops leaking it means its out of oil.

Once in a while, not to often, a guy gets a break. Suggest you write down a time and date of the break for further reference.

bought a 67 recently, the owner had a terrible leak that he could not remedy. I guess that why he sold it.

I put it up on the lift had the wife start it up and saw that the oil was coming from the filter area. He had a spin on. with the adapter.
I found 2 o rings. Took them out and replaced it with a new one and had no leaks. Lift pays dividends again.
