Strange oil leak in 95 camry, need help
 

I have a 95 camry with a V6 and automatic transmission. I had what I thought was a rear main seal leak where it was dripping every once in a while. I brought it to a mechanic's shop and they replaced the rear main seal, put it back together, now the oil is pouring out while running.

My first thought was the obivious "they messed up", so they pulled the trans down again anf took a look at the seal. the seal is bone dry, but there is oil coming out of the bolt holes from the crank. I've never seen this and my mechanic hasn't either, we figured sealing the flexplate bolts would clear the problem. No dice!

Has anyone ever heard of the 3.0L cranks going bad, or some procedure to correctly seal the back of the crank? any help would be immensely appreciated.

Thanks
