I finished my rebuild about a month ago. I've driven my teener for only about 20 miles since. I have a small puddle of oil on the garage floor, which I believe is coming from the small window in between the engine and tranny. I drove it today for a couple of miles, parked it in the garage and it immediately began to drip oil from the above location. I checked my oil and it is about an eighth inch to a quarter inch above the full mark. I guess I over filled the oil. I replaced the rear main seal during my rebuild and can't imagine that this is the problem. It is definately oil and not gear oil. How hard would it be to remove just the tranny and not the engine. I don't think I can go through removing the engine again, but I will if I have too. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Rod |

QUOTE(415PB @ Jan 17 2004, 07:39 PM) Thanks, I got the seal off but it appears the PO might have used some type of sealant. It appeared to have been glued on. The portion of the seal that goes into the tranny was very brittle and some very small pieces fell into the tranny. Should I be concerned with this or should I try and fish the pieces out? I have been trying for like two hours with no luck. Thanks were they rubber or part of the metal inside the seal? the rubber probably won't do any harm, not sure about larger metal pieces. if metal, try a magnet on a extension. Andy |
