What's the story on the engine? Rebuild? I fought a rear main on mine for about 2 years after I rebuilt it, small block. 3 seperate times I took my trans out, once I siliconed the cam plug, once I changed the rear main in the car, no improvement. Finally I yanked the engine, and changed to a rope seal.
Here's what my problem was, the crank was wore where the seal was suppose to seal. I happened to have a brand new crank to measure, sure enough mine was about .010" too small, so it wouldn't seal. I tossed the rope seal in it, no problems since.

the crank looks ok, but i didnt mic it, maybe the rope seal will work, its just very frustrating, the plug was concave , but i dont for sure know if thats were the leak is, until i pull the trans.
