i was wondering what can blow a rear main seal , will reving the motor to 6k alote for long periods of time blow the rear main seal and i was wondering what would cause the tourqe conveter to leak?
 
Blown seals are usually caused by excessive crankcase pressure, most commonly a result of overfilling the crankcase with oil in conjunction with high rpms.
Unless a torque converter has been recently replaced (and cut a seal during install), they don't normally leak unless they are cracked. Transmission front pump seal is more likely the culprit.
