Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Have a rear main oil leak. Is only small leak but annoying all the same.
How common is the leak??
How much roughly is the repair bill??

check the rear of the rocker cover gasket, that is what my rear main oil leak is, i bet.

Went out and checked it and its bone dry.
Would have been easy fix. Thanks all the same.

bugger...... im still hoping that it is what is wrong with mine......fingers crossed!!!

Rear main seal oil leaks are pretty rare with the TD 42. The seal itself is easy to replace, but engine or gearbox needs to be removed Once the flywheel and back plate are removed, the seal housing can be removed and the seal driven out. If high km's on engine, reposition seal in a slightly different position if seal surface on crank is scored badly. If doing it yourself, make sure you get the gasket that seals the oil seal housing to the block. Make sure PCV valve is not blocked.
