Re: Wicked Oil Leak - Sage Advice?
I think it should have a potmetal labryinthe-type seal. So unless it's cracked or missing, that's probably not the problem. I'd guess the most likely source of the leak is that the cork/rubber pan gasket strip near the rear bearing has either deteriorated or slipped out of place or never installed correctly in the first place. You'd have to drop to pan to install a new gasket set not pull the engine. Can you inspect this area in the rear pan area with a flashlight to see if it might be the problem?
