RE: 390 Mustang - Rear main seal leaking.

I am currently in the process of putting the C6 back in place after checking the oil plugs on the rear of the block on a customers rebuilt 390. While the back of the intake was a little wet from oil, I just knew there was no way the rear of the intake could leak this much oil.

Surprise, surprise. After removing the flexplate and block plate, the back of the block around the oil plugs and even the rear main cap was dry. From the bottom with the trans removed, I could see how wet with oil that the rear of the intake actually was. While it was a lot of extra work, at least I I know where the oil is NOT coming from.
This thread, so far...
