I went racing at Beaver Springs today. I made my 1st pass, and they came to my pit and said I was putting down oil the whole way up the track. I checked my oil and I was down a quart. I drove about 2 hours, 95 miles one way to get there. On the way home I used less than 1/2 a quart. I won’t have time to fix it before the shootout and perhaps not this summer. I don’t mind adding oil while I’m driving. Is there someway of putting some kind of diaper on it while at the track? What kind of material would you use? Thanks for any help or ideas. By the way it would be the rear main seal. Dennis

Any idea where it was leaking from?

Chuck, it’s the rear main seal. I can’t believe it’s as bad as they say. Less that a half a quart in 95 miles on the way home. I would guess some drops every now and then up the track. If I could only catch them.
