Gary, that is exactly what I need to hear. The seal must be changed and I will follow your steps. Thank you!

Ernie, I appreciate those invaluable tips that you always provide. That is what I thought too since the car did not move in a very long time. The weather is getting very cold in here and I hope I will be able to drive it on a regular basis during the next few months as running the car in cold weather seems really hard.
It is a question that I will post soon to know what is the right or normal way to turn on the car (before and after running), and is it different when it is cold as it takes me some time to run. I always need to keep my foot on gas for a couple of minutes to prevent the car from turning off. If you have the answer for that, it would be great, or anybody else.

Jim, I got my car checked my an expert and we were able to address some of them (they are listed below). I found a restoration workshop near by and I will give them a visit soon. I hope I can stop the dripping. I will post anything new about the drips in this topic for everyone to benefit.


So the reason for the drips are:
- #1 freeze plug is a little bit rust and started leaking
- Oil filter can is leaking
- Transmission is leaking but not able to identify from where as it comes from multiple place
- Diff pinion seal is leaking
- Carburetor is leaking

I will take care of these issues and provide you of what is going to happen. If you have any advice or suggestion please do not hesitate to mention.
