I assume you are talking about the dreaded small block chevy leak? No easy solution, as it is a very common problem. My 302 went about 3 months after rebuild before it started leaking again. Why Chevy went to the one piece rear seal in 1986.

Yes, it's on a co worker's vehicle. Seems to leak more when the engine is running which makes me believe its the rear main..

Any leak but a drain plug leak will be more prominent with the engine running. I hope you are able to get it sorted.
