Hello all, I can't imagine the Bristol engines normally leak out back when stopped a 3-4 inch round puddle of oil. My 100D2 does. I know the engine family is a dynamic rear seal technology. Just thought to ask of any experience, advice as to where to look for the leak before I start dropping big parts, like the trans. Thanks in advance!

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / rear of engine oil leak in 100D2 Bristol

Hello, I recently bought an AC Aceca LH drive Bristol here in Los Angeles. The car was originally imported here, sold here and always remained in the area. It has a large oil leak out the back. When parked engine off a 4 inch round puddle can form in minutes until of course it stops. I understand there is no lip seal but a dynamic application.
Update, the shop that sealed up the engine said the leak was not the rear main but some where else. Waiting for more info. Planning on taking the trans out, fixturing the engine to run in place and look for the leak.
