Think I found the rear main problem We after moving and getting done with school I decided to tear down the rebuild with about 300 miles on it to find the rear main seal leak. Anyways found this under there.
So it looks like I put in a PTFE seal in which is the Teflon. Never again with a PTFE Teflon since I have always used the rubber ones with no problems. Well after a new rubber seal in and a new oil pan gaskets since I had to take the rear main seal housing out and ripped the pan gasket. Hopefully I can enjoy the car once the transmission goes back in. Found the Teflon one had kinked some on the crank side but was pouring oil out of the outside as well. Just hope its the last time I see the bottom end of the motor or that clutch in the next 100k.
