Brought the 62' in for an oil change today and had them take a look at whether a new leak at the rear of the oil pan was an oil pan gasket or a rear main seal. Chances are that it is a rear main seal. The engine doesn't have over a five hundred miles on it since its rebuild in 2008 and the car has been sitting for long periods of time, with only intermittent start ups, short trips or idling in the driveway. I was out of commission for some time due to health issues and then had a few other tranny issues with the car that made it a bit unreliable for regular outings.
Having said that...a friend had mentioned to try an oil additive that may/may not assist with sealing this...if it is the rear main seal. Failing which...I guess I should start budgeting for the proper fix.
Any suggestions with regards to a recommended "brand" / "type" of oil additive for this as an interim fix?
