ok I have the engine up on wood blocks and I am currently working on the front end of the engine (new water pump and all the timing parts) I just noticed a very small amount of oil on the ground near the back of the motor, and you can see that it has driped down from the rear main oil seal which i replaced before i installed the clutch now its only about a few drops a day but its still concerning, my question is, is this normal for a new seal like it needs to have the engine run and heat up to properly seal or did i just install it wrong and need to pull the clutch off and fix it.

thanks
-Justin

i wiped it clean and the next day it was there again (inbetween the bellhousing and the block) i cant think of anywhere else it could be from.

Could be anything that's above the point where you're seeing the oil. Check the rear cam cover gasket....
