Rear main seal

Post by RaginRover »

I think the exxon-like oil slick under my car is coming from the rear main.

I have cleaned it all up today and cleaned all the breathers out and check my oil levels - it was on low. Topped her up then had to drive up to the sunshine coast.

Turned up here, car stinks of oil and I have oil all over the gbox and all the way up to the rocker covers.

I know the rocker covers are rarely troublesome - it is hard to tell where it is coming from, it is a 1991 3.9 and I have covered just over 200,000K

Any advice ?
Cheers

you are probably right mate - haven't had much time to look at it but the valley could the be blame it would just run down the bellhousing then.

Ahhh valley gasket - something I could actually fix :lol:
