1955 ford with a 302 engine/oil question

[KULTULZ]

I noticed where it mentioned that if the pcv system is not working properly, the oil can be contaminated, causing internal problems in the engine.

The combustion blow-by gases and excess water vapor combined creates an acid which will eat away at components and cause sludge.

Does anybody here have any info on replacing the seal at the ****** shaft.I have a leak at the tail end of the ******,where the drive line goes in. Also,there is a oil leak at the rear differential,at the part that holds the universal joints. I would appreciate it very much if I can get info on replacing this 2 seals. Thank you very much for your help,

The transmission rear seal normally just pulls out and tap a new one in. BUT if the rear bushing that the yoke rides in is worn, the new seal will be beat out rapidly.

Thanks for your help.I am going to try replacing the transmission rear seal and will look at how difficult it is to replace the rear end seal.
