Default Re: Rear Main Oil Leak

Leaks can come from various places and leak out the hole in the bell housing. Check to see exactly where the leak is coming from.

Mine had a bad leak and I was embarrassed to park anywhere someone would see how bad it was. Mine ended up being a problem with the previous install of the rear main as well as too much clearance in the bearing. I adjusted all the mains and rods, installed the real metal seal correctly and no more leaks
