Rear main seal leaks at 82K

Rear main seal leaks at 82K

Postby offthahook » Fri Oct 01, 2004 2:49 am

The hell? I noticed some very small drops on the garage floor that weren't AC drips. Took it for an oil change and the dealer said the main seal is leaking! Very small now, but WTF? It's not coming from the valve covers for sure, either. I didn't get an estimate for obvious reasons. Anyone else got this? :x

Also, my rear passenger seat floorboard area has been SOAKED forever. Turns out there is a drain hose that gets kinked up in that area. You all might wanna check it out if you have water back there. $37 and they cleaned it up, straightened it up.

It's not unheard of...but it shouldn't be too bad to replace if the rear main is a 2 piece design, that way the crank doesn't have to come out (just drop the oil pan and replace the lower seal). The question is whether it is a 2 piece or not. Good luck.

Oh yeah, and while you're at it, clean the inside of the oil pan, check the pick-up, and replace the pan gasket...preventative maintainance.
