Oil leaks in a 420a manual

RE: Oil leaks in a 420a manual
if it is leaking from the tranny check your CV seals and Rear-Main seal, but to get to the rearmain, you need to take off tranny, clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate.... my tranny was leaking and the spring in my rear main seal was horrible, it should be very tightly in there...

Thanks All
Being new to the Eclipse, thought there might be specific areas that leak.This is my son's car. I just do most of the mechanicals for him (how is that for adad). Inormally work on the two MG's I own and know thatMG;s leak oil as part of the engine design (not kidding about that. No rear seal in my 1950 TD, just threads on the rear of the crank to"sling" theoil back into the engine)
At this point, I was not planning to pull the engine. it does appear to have a valve cover leak on the driver side. That could very well be where the oil is coming from. Any tips for putting the valve gasket in so it does not leak?
