Need help with BAD oil leak....
Need help with BAD oil leak....
We just the stroker up and running today.
There are a couple kinks to still be worked out but the most pressing right now is a major oil leak in the back of the motor.
We defenitly know its not the intake...Things we noticed so far without getting the car on a lift.
1. Its from the collectors of the LT's back, nothing before....
2. The bottom of the tranny is coated, as well as everything back...
Right now we are thinking rear main, and possibly oil pan but would either cause a leak this bad and this low on the car? When you look under the car the oil pan is dry as a bone
....everything back is just loaded...
Are there any holes, that may need to be plugged, etc? The block was completely torn down and machined etc so all the plugs were taken out....maybe one or two didnt go back in???
Just throw some ideas out here. The more I get the more I can look for.
Thanks.

The oil pan maybe the problem, Im leaving a couple softball sized leaks where ever I go...although it is dripping from all parts of the car at this point, not just around the motor....
