Well, it wasn't the rear main seal after all. After replacing the seal it still leaks at the same rate and looks to be coming from higher up on the block. This would seem to indicate one of the plugs is leaking so I have taken out the toploader and will start on removing the bellhousing on Sunday. Just for fun and to make my problem a little more difficult I have ordered a Lakewood blow proof bellhousing to replace the old one. The housing alignment should be enough to cause at least one small mental melt down. I hope my stock fork and pivot will work. Any suggestions on making sure the plugs are sealed? I know the cam plug goes in so it faces out not in like a freeze plug. I am going to try to take as many pictures of this fix as I can so future members can learn from my pain
