    Leaking rear main, Drive it home or not?

    Ok all sorry for the slow update, but the weather and most other things decided to get in the way this week. The wife and I went after the truck yesterday. It showed 2 quarts low on engine oil and the tranny was exactly where it should be. So I removed the inspection cover, used 2 cans of brake...

    Leaking rear main, Drive it home or not?

    Ok everyone thank you all for the input and thoughts. The wife and I will be taking the ride up there in the morning with extra oil both engine and gear (truck already has an extra gallon of each in the bed) plus a case of brake clean. The plan is to check it over, clean the clutch and drive her...

    Leaking rear main, Drive it home or not?

    Roger that will do. I checked the engine oil after it had been shut off for 15 minutes or so and it was slightly high which I attribute to drain down as I was outside the ideal checking window. It looked clean and didn't smell of fuel or show any signs of water so I don't think there is any...

    Leaking rear main, Drive it home or not?

    I am not. I know the oil pressure didn't drop at all while it leaked. It was dripping out like **** though. Whats the fix for the input shaft issue? If I remember right there isnt a seal on those, they are supposed to push the oil back towards the trans correct?

    Leaking rear main, Drive it home or not?

We pulled the inspection cover (think we left it off, but that's neither here nor there lol) sprayed a couple cans of brake clean on the clutch disk added some oil, and ran till...

    Leaking rear main, Drive it home or not?

    Porky a new clutch is already in the bed along with pressure plate and flywheel. Just thought the previous owner had found a good deal on extra pieces, but maybe they new something I didn't

    Leaking rear main, Drive it home or not?

    no its a pretty decent leak, constant dripping while running. Thanks for the blow by tube thought. Didn't think to check it. **** that could be a contributing factor to the failure.

    Leaking rear main, Drive it home or not?

    Hey all, looking for some advice from the long term deuce owners. Yesterday I took the deuce for her first longish trip since I've owned her. Only around 60 miles, but she sat a few years before we bought it. Well about 50 miles in the clutch starts slipping on the hills and it continually gets...
