If it's right under the carb, then I would think it could be the oil pan loose. If it's further back then I would think its the rear main seal. If you just bought this car, then I would guess, you are planning on restoring it, if you are restoring it then again I assume you will have the motor rebuilt. Good luck and congratulations on the 67'

I'm not sure how much it would cost to replace the rear main seal but it can get fairly expensive since either the engine or transmission usually has to be pulled all the way out. If you are planning on restoring it or doing a lot of engine work this shouldn't be too much of a problem. Shops just usually charge a lot to pull an engine.
