Engine was leaking oil at the rear main bearing after 1000 miles. We installed the Billet Rear Main seal and still leaking... On Brand X engines we found some rear main reatainers which where using a double lipped seal. Anybody out there who had same problems and was able to fix it? https://www.facebook.com/UncleHarrysMusclecargarage
