Help! Update on Leaking Rear Main

Posted by Jim Angus on August 29, 1997 at 22:23:17

I would once again like to impose upon the Model A fraternity for additional information on my leaking rear main on my 28 tudor.I have dropped the pan and am looking for the return tube that some of your suggested I shorten to reduce the amount of oil exiting through the rear of the engine.It doesn't seem to be there!Where exactly is it located; how big is it (diameter) and how long is it??I have one of the aluminum rear seal blocks on hand.Can it be replaced with just the pan dropped?It looks to me that if the clutch housing cover plate is removed, it should be accessable?While I have the pan off, is there any other maintenance that I should perform; re-torquing, etc.?
Your continued help is certainly appreciated.
