Found another very interesting read over at moparts.

440 Rear Main Seal Leak--Almost Suicidal!! UPDATE

Excellent points and primary solution appears to have been provided on the first page by poster, Monte_Smith https://board.moparts.org/ubbthread...al-leak-almost-suicidal-long.html#Post1851803

But the read leading up to that and after is great. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthread...ar-main-seal-leak-almost-suicidal-update.html

Good luck.
