F12 leaking oil

First, got the F12 running and drove her straight up and down a hill in my yard, I noticed when I stopped in the driveway that it was dumping oil out the rear of the oil pan or maybe the rear main seal. what do you guys think? It has new rear main seal and new oil pan gasket on it. If you must know why I drove it on the hill I wanted to test the reaction of the govenor and the clutch, plus I was so excited about it running I was driving it everywhere in the yard I could (I know not to transverse a hill sideways).

Second, I am going to try to post a picture of it along with this message, never done it before so bear with me. also note it is not done just has temporary gas tank on it to get it running before I paint.

I suspect this is a function of the felt seals, and some leakage is to be expected. Then again, I could just be rationalizing 'cuz I'm too lazy to fix it right...

She's not done but she's running...

My '35 F12 in similar shape, but I have the engine mostly apart. Wheels are painted red, primer on most of the rest. It will be grey, like yours.

Keep posting pics when you make progress. Like JRM says, we need inspiration.

To post a picture, follow these steps:

1. put the picture somewhere on the web, in jpg format. Your website, photopoint.com, a friend's website etc. You can't upload the picture directly to this website - it doesn't work that way.

2. get on the ytmag.com forum you want to post to.

3. type your message, as normal. Fill the "optional image url" box with the full web address of your picture: >Link

4. After submitting the post, make sure you can see the picture in the preview window. Then click post and you are done.

Let's see your new toy!

here goes nothing.....
