1988 stock 5.0L
Always dripped down the back, from the bottom of the bellhousing. Replaced the rear main a few years ago, started leaking right after putting everything back together. ZR and Zippy replaced the intake gaskets last year, also got a new PCV valve, screen and grommet. Valve covers are dry too. I've double checked the oil pan gasket and it seems dry also.
Talked about this in a thread last year and loved RedSN's comment about how even Ford considers a rear main leak as 'normal'

I'm ready to do it again and want all the insurance I can get to eliminate this leak. From my research this is what I've come up with:
- fel-pro crank repair sleeve 16250 (didn't know about these last time)
- green loctite between this and the crank
- fel-pro seal 40620 (or similar: Ford Racing M-6701-B302)
- fel-pro installation tool 16300
- grease (dialectric?) on inside of seal spring/groove
- RTV (of some kind) on outside of seal
Anything you think I could be missing?
