We have solved a problem that all cars and trucks can develop with age or even after newly re-building an engine or transmission. We now manufacture 3 different Catch-a-Drip™ pans that are available, depending on your car or truck year and transmission that will catch oil leaks from the rear main seal of the engine and from the front of the bellhousing and transmission.
The original Catch-a-Drip™ pan was made for my 1970 Chevelle Super Sport with a 396 engine and Muncie 4-speed transmission. When I re- built the engine, it was out of the car and turned up-side down on an engine stand, when the rear main seal was installed. After installing the engine back in my car, it eventually developed a small leak from the rear main seal of the engine which left drops of oil on the garage floor and driveway. I did not want to remove the engine oil pan and try to install a new rear main seal, which would have been very difficult compared to originally having the engine out of the car and up-side down on an engine stand. I then developed the Catch-a-Drip™ pan and it worked perfectly.
All of the Catch-a-Drip™ pans are manufactured in our shop in the USA and come with installation instructions. The pans are made from aluminum sheet, bars and angles and come completely sanded and then wire wheel polished. you can install your pan as it comes with the polished surface or you can paint your pan. We recommend using one of these spray cans: Krylon Fusion all-in-one (Flat Black #2728) or SEM self-etching primer (Black #39673). You can then install your pan with the Black paint or paint it any color you want.
The pans also come with a drain plug to check the oil level and drain the pan as needed without removing the pan from your car or truck. All pans come with a sponge inside that can be replaced with each oil change or as needed. The sponges can be purchased from Ace Hardware stores.
