Rear seal oil leak in 1988 ford van?

Have a 1988 ford E250 6 cyclinder van. The rear main seal is leaking. Any suggestions???Rear seal oil leak in 1988 ford van?
Are you sure it's the rear main seal, and not the oil pan or gasket that's leaking? Engines of those era had a tendency to harden up and crack the oil pan gasket, same as the pan itself would rust through. If it is the rear main seal, just make sure it's not blowby crankcase pressure causing your leak. If that's the case it may be time for a rebuild. Hope this helps.Rear seal oil leak in 1988 ford van?
if its me i would change the front and rear seals and the filter and fluid if you can
How much oil is it leaking?if its a minor leak I would not worry to much about it.If it leaves a trail as you drive then you need to fix it
if you used the wrong type oil your last change,it may not be compatible with your gaskets and seals.
Can be done with the engine in place, if thats good news.
typical ford, have it replaced, or it will start filling the torque converter housing with oil, and drip everywhere.
