cracked housing
'86 F-150 EFI 302 4x4
There is oil coming from between the engine and the housing. The clutch housing is cracked. There is a gap between the housing and engine wide enough to see the clutch clearly. Looks like a missing seal or something. Now, is that gap supposed to be there? How much should I be worried about this crack? Here are a couple pics. All info is appreciated.

Rear main seal is what I thought too when I read his description of the leak, but once the pic loaded and I didn't see any oil on the back of the engine oil pan, I thought maybe it's a seal on the torque converter. Hard to tell from the pic if that's engine oil or tranny fluid.
