Rear Main Seal Leak 850 1993 GLT

posted by  someone claiming to be Jeff S. on  Tue Feb 27 00:51 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I purchased my 1993 850 GLT around December and have basically gone over the entire car this winter. I've put less than 200 miles on the car and now when I am ready to drive it there seems to have developed a major leak that is dripping at the end of the oil pan where it meets the bellhousing. I put synthetic in the car which is probably a first for this car at 122,000 miles. I suspect that it is the rear main seal. Is there any other source of leaks that I should look for that end up dripping from the same area before I pull the trans?

Has anyone elso pulled their auomatic and replaced their own seal? Any tips? I have another car so I can afford the time to take it apart but have never pulled a front wheel drive tranny. Anything else that should be fixed while the transmission is out?

Thanks for any advice
