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

[Kurt Guttensohn]

Hmmm, very interesting.  I just so happen to be using Mobil 1.
What did you switch to?

What kind of oil are you using? I have been using Mobil 1 in two PT
Cruisers and they both leaked oil past their seals,----, until I
switched away from Mobil 1, the oil leaks immediately dried up. Mark

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
