For those of you who have 'dealt' with the rear main seal issue, I am wondering if you ever quantified the amount of oil you lost.

I have a 1993 960 with good compression and no leaks through camshaft cover, rebuild head, sealed rear camshaft cover etc, that still uses 1 quart (1 liter approx) per 300 miles.
I noticed that the smal hole underneath the transmission bell housing is wet, however no oil stains on cardboard underneath.

I was wondering how much oil I can loose through a leaky rear main seal.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Robert
