PS----I added an aftermarket seal years ago----I believe it didn't have a rear 
seal originally.

 body {height: 100%; color:#000000; font-size:12pt; font-family:arial, 
helvetica, sans-serif;}Discovered a puddle of oil on garage floor under the 
Healey---center of car around the rear of the engine.  Check all the obvious 
places. you might find a leak--no luck---cracked pan, filter adapter.  My 
assumption is a leaking rear main oil seal.  If so-----can this be replaced 
with the tranny out and engine in car?
Any other ideas on the leak source?
Thankstom
