<VV> Leak from 1/8" hole in Bell housing

[J R Read]

So, how long has the bell housing been dripping oil?  You don't know?

Winter is right around the corner - drive it until the salt trucks come.

You might end up replacing the clutch... but you might already need that now 
and just don't know it yet.

Later, JR

Hey guys,
I have the Corvair up on jack stands today fixing oil leaks.
Then I noticed that the little hole on the bottom of the bell housing is 
leaking oil.
Is there anything I can do about this besides pulling the engine and 
replacing the seal?
I want to drive it while the weather is nice and then really get into fixing 
all the leaks this winter.
I added a picture of it (if it comes across.)
As always thanks for any advice,
Kurt
