would this be an oil leak or a tranny oil leak?'

i see drips of oil coming building up near the edge of the flywheel cover.

rear mainseal...check it out

to get to it youd need to drop your tranny

omgoodness........ that sucks.

should have replaced it when i did the auto to manual conversion.

lVlemphizStylez

that would have been the smartest thing to do...you should have checked it out when you removed the tranny....moreover you should have noticed it when you removed the tranny

I had the same issue when i purchase an 01 b18 motor that came off an automatic car it was clean and no sign of leaks had like 40k on it, but when installed the motor with my manual trans rear main seal started to leak right away, so i guess this is a common thing when going from auto to manual.

i wouldnt say its a common thing because i went from auto to manual and i didnt have this problem...this is a common thing with old tegs....they should be replaced after a while

what about grease build up near the oil pan?

i have oil leak everywhere man.

car has about 190k

id say the rear main seal is your culprit...but if you feel insecure...replace your oil pan gasket as well...

he said the oil is by the flywheel cover and flywheel...that sounds like a rear main seal leak

yeah, drips are appearing right near the flywheel cover. when i remove the flywheel, the flywheel itself is dry.

i'll check again, to see if the flywheel area is wet with oil
