Recently I backed the 76 spit up a hill and parked it there while trying to 
rearrange the other lbcs to make room to work on it. It sat there for a week 
and I started it up and pulled it down the hill to the garage. Smoke coming 
from under the bonnet. carb leaking, and a big puddle of oil on the left 
frame rail. Looks like it is leaking from the bellhousing. Could I have 
parked it on too steep an incline and oil from the trans leaked into the bell 
housing? Is there a front seal on the trans? Do I need to pull the engine and 
trans? Thanks for any help.
