My '83 AC Vanagon is leaking oil, presumably from the rear main seal from what I can see. The leak is most prominent after prolonged operation, but it eventually stops when the engine cools. The engine was rebuilt about 5 years ago (rear main replaced), but has only about 30K on the rebuild. Regardless of the leak, it runs great. My questions are: 1) Could a slight overfill of the crankcase oil have caused this? 2) Is there any reasonable way to remedy the problem without yanking the engine and replacing the seal? RTV?
