    Talking 1959 Buick 401 Question

    I just bought a 59 Lesabre with that very rare 3 on the tree, 401 set up . After starting the car there was a major oil leak in the rear of the block. looks like its coming out where the crank goes. what could it be, and what would i have to do to fix it? And what kind of gear set up would be in the rear end of the car?

    Rear main seal? Replace the rope seal in the rear main. There are also rubber seals that can be used in place of the rope seal.
