Default 418w rear seal, what do I have here? See Photo
On my way to putting in a clutch kit on a new to me Backdraft, I want to seal up a very tiny oil leak at the rear pan or main seal, one drop a day, but it's aggravating. I still don't know which one is at fault, pan or seal. It only has 2,000 miles on it, but it looks like someone tried to seal it up before me, or it was assembled that way.

But, it looks like my 418w is a two piece seal. I'm new to Fords, but not to race motors, so I can probably handle it if I know what's in front of me.

Is there any quicksand I'm about to get into here replacing the seal and oil pan gasket? The block number is D9AE-6015-ED17.

What a great source this board is! I guess everyone knows that by now.

Thanks,
