Those early 21 stud engines did not have a rear main seal....just had a slinger on the rear of the crank. I don't think I would personally go to the trouble of replacing the front rope seal. Maybe think about putting some oil in the pan and tilting the engine forward enough to allow oil to pool up around the front seal. Let it sit like that for several days to allow seal to soak up some oil. Might work. JM This message was edited by JM on 2-12-13 @ 10:22 AM

If you are having a serious oil leak at the rear of the engine, it may be due to overfilling beyond four quarts.
