RMS Question S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Calvin on  Thu Aug 7 13:21 CST 2008 [RELATED]

98 S70 Non-Turbo Automatic Tranny 172K Miles

I have recently developed a mysterious oil leak that I am having a difficult time locating the source. I have read many posts referring to the rear main seal and that this is an extremely expensive fix if it is leaking.

Where is this located? Is this what VADIS refers to as the "Crankshaft seal, rear"? If so, it calls for removing the gearbox - is this done with the engine in or out of the car? (probably showing my ignorance here, never done engine or transmission work - but hey - no such thing as a stupid question, right?)

Where is this type leak most frequently in evidence?

Thanks, Calvin
