Hmmm, I don't think oil is supposed to come from there

[Yukon Jack]

Blazerboy came over last night and helped get the carb and HEI installed on my 70 K5. It hasn't ran in about 7 years I'm guessing. Couldn't get it to fire last night due to a very dead battery.

Well, after getting the 10 gauge wire actually onto the blade on th HEI tonight the Blazer lives!!!! BUT, she's gushing oil at the back of the engine. Looking from the underside of the engine it is coming from I think the rear main seal. There is oil dripping out of the drip hole on the flywheel bottom dust cover and the majority of the oil that is gushing is coming between the flywheel dust cover and the engine.

Is that a good guess?

If so, I'm hoping that doesn't mean I have to pull the tranny/transfer case to fix or pull the engine. The oil coming out of the drip hole in the flywheel bottom dust cover scares me - does that mean I'm gonna have to pull the clutch and clean degrease the flywheel? Just got done installing the flywheel and clutch and don't look forward to dealing with the tranny/tc install again.

Being mechanically challenged sucks - I can rip em apart and lift'em in the air, but I don't know jack about engines. (Well, I am slowly learning though)

Dang, was really hoping I wasn't going to have any more problems.
