Subject: Severe Oil leak
We have started to strip my De Ville for renovation and last weekend we had the engine running (Sweetly)for a while as we worked on removing the chrome bits to be sent to the platers.
The car was on a slope and when we stopped the engine oil literally poured out from what looked to be the rear oil seal, I suppose the first laymans question is "does it have one " and the second is to ask you all if this is common ? The oil level was OK but when we transported the car on a low bed trailer , when I bought it, it the same thing happened when it was being winched onto the back of the truck.(engine stopped). Does anybody have a sketch of the rear oil seal arrangement ?
