I replaced the rear main seal on my 945 last weekend. I was very careful and ran my finger around the crank before instlling the new seal (Volvo brown one). I didn't feel any rough areas. I checked the flame trap and it was clear. I did not remove the seal carrier. I've done this procedure before on my 740 and didn't have any problems, however the rear seal still leaks on this car. I see in the FAQ that this is not unusual, however the car now uses oil to the tune of 1 quart per 400 miles. What did I do wrong? I fear I'm going to have to takle this difficult job again. Is there anything I can do to keep from removing the transmission again? Thanks.
