Is this my Rear MAIN Seal? 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Idan on  Sun Jan 11 06:12 CST 2009 [RELATED]

WEll i am suspecting that my rear main seal gave way...and in a HUGE way it leaks out..but given the location of where its coming from i figured i would post on here and hope for something different..
the car leaks as it just sits there in idle. it gets MUCH worse when revved up..when your rev it up it POUR now its dripping out of the engine/transmission matting surface but NOT from the lowest point where there is a small hole..that area is pretty clean by comparison. the big area where it comes from is the back of the engine near where the output shaft for the passenger side CV joint is near the opening where you can SEE the toothed ring gear spinning it just drips alot around that area..to me it just looks like its the RMS and once the oil hits the back of the ringed wheel/torque converter and centrifugal force forces the oil to the sides? the TOP of the Engine block area is very wet with oil but the head bellow the cams seems dry it im not thinking its the camshaft seals, unless there is something else in between.

And on to the second point if it is my RMS, Are there any tutorials on how to drop that transmission and getting it out of the way? or is it best to remove both engine and trany together?

Thanks a bunch
