Hello. We just bought a brand new 406 from Shafiroff and we are having problems with an oil leak. The first time we started the motor, it looked like the oil was coming off of the oil pan gasket in the rear of the motor under the crank. So we then dropped the pan, cleaned everything up and gooped it up with a sealer and bolted it back up. Well.....we tried it again last night and it still leaks. The problem is that it still looks like the leak is coming off of the oil pan but it is so hard to tell. We know that there is a possibility of it being the rear main seal, but it just doesn't look like it. If we look at the end of the crank, flywheel, and converter....there isn't any oil on any of them!!!??? If it was the rear main seal wouldn't the oil be all over the crank and flywheel????!! When we start the motor.....it takes about 15 seconds of it running and then the oil starts dribbling down the back of the oil pan. Please....if you have any suggestions or have experienced the same problem plase let me know. Thank you, Derek.
