I only drve it once before I tore the car down and that was over a year ago.
Now when I bring it back after a good drive, it dumps an oil spot when I shut it off about the size of a saucer. This is at the rear oil pan location.
Does this sound like a rear main seal or oil pan? Anything particular to look for?
Can't disagree with Tech's approach, but out of curiosity, what type of engine are we talking about here? Is this a 1930 restoration or a hot rod with modern driveline?
