My 1986 Ram150 2dr.with 8'bed & a 343cui. (bored 318) roller bearing engine has developed a oil leak.I see oil leaking steadily between bell housing & trans. pan. ,see no oil around the rear seal. Does engine have oil plug in rear? I did not notice when I put the long block (Proformance Brand ) in , Engine has had regular oil changes. only major problem was a wire burned out & fried comp. It now has a Summit racing "orange box "for Chrysler ignition. Leak started after water pump belt slipped, but I noticed it before gauge showed heat (smelled hot water). Help this is my only transport. Can it be repaired by pulling trans instead of engine? Any help would be appreciated. JHB
