    Re: 1965 differential leak

    Frank, thanks for the info. I have done all the above. Did have a leak coming down from the valve covers but i fixed that. don't see any oil coming down the back of the block. the only place I see it is coming out of the whole in the inspection cover. As you know on a 327 1965 car that cover doesn't come down like it does on a C1. so how do you know if it is the rear main seal. Like I said the rear main seal was replaced but I have heard that these sometimes are not good. I don't remember seeing any groove in the crank when it was replaced. do I have to pull the pan to see if it is leaking or is there another way. I have the blue devil but was afraid to put it in my engine. I guess it is safe, it worked for you. I wouldn't care so much but I am going for the PV. As you know one drop of oil and you fail!!! dp appreciate your help.

      The dye may be best to detect a rear main seal leak but I'm about 90$ sure that's what you have....The Blue Devil will not hurt anything at all...there is no downside to using it other than you'll have to drive the 200 miles or thereabouts to see if it wrosk..
