Thanks, Chris. As you may remember I washed the pressure plate in situ with brake cleaner after I found the primary source of the oil leak from the transmission lid and that has worked for months. I'm also getting oil on the garage floor again.
If I could figure out where the leak is coming from that's getting on the clutch, washing the clutch may work.

Several people have said Rear Main Seal, straight-8s are notorious for leaking there.

So I really need a definitive answer on what steps are essential to replace and make make a seal. Like:

1. Drop the oil pan
2. Remove the bearing cap
or whatever

I hope someone here knows. I couldn't find anything but the attached.
