    My 70 cj5 with a v-6 is dripping oil from the starter after i drive for 10 mins or more. I have already the rear main seal. Doesn't leak on short drives. Any thoughts??

    Oil pan I'd bet. You can run a Dauntless without valve covers (literally) and it won't drip.
    OK, eventually it would, but there isn't much oil up there. If the rear main seal isn't leaking, I'd bet on the pan.
