Hi all, have an oil leak that I have been trying to fix for over a month and 4 main seals. Symptom is oil coming from hole between transmission and case. My first thought were that I needed to replace the main crank seal, well long story, when this thing is leaking it seems you need to to drive at freeway speed for a little while and when you stop and look under the car the entire passenger side has oil slung on the roof and all over the trans and muffler, but only on the passenger side. Today removed the transmission and the inside cavity is covered with oil, this is engine oil and not gear oil. Removed the flywheel and seal looked dry?? Have been cleaning and scanning for anyplace oil could come from. Seems like the drivers side case shell is moist with oil and passenger side is dry. This should be an easy fix but I can't think of another place to check. Could I have a micro crack and oil leaking out under pressure from an oil galley? The oil galley plug on drivers side has been epoxied in and the passenger side has been tapped and plugged. Help!!!

I've had the same leak in my car ever since I bought it. Even after I had the engine rebuilt the leak is still there. The builder said he would take care of it while he was in there but I guess not. In my case It's some sort of freeze plug type thing in the engine case. Not sure why it can't just be JB welded it or other but man it's irritating.
Matthias at German Meister says he has dealt with the problem before and when he has the tranny out for the rebuild he will take care of it. I'm defiantly going to get up close and take pics of this thing for reference. |
