Oil leak only when car runs?
Well I have searched and I have a good feeling that it is the rear main seal. It drips from the low part of the tranny and when I look in the flywheel hole, I see some oil on the housing wall. I did the clutch about 8k miles ago and replaced the main seal, but failed to hondabond it. Dont ask me how I overlooked that part in the Helms, but I did. I have had the lude sitting for a week here and a week there and no leaks. Only when I drive and then park it do I find quarter sized spots on the driveway. Just 1 or 2 drops.
Just took it to a shop for estimate (SH's are a bitch and I dont wanna live thru puling the tranny again) and they tell me at least $700. However he did ask if I was sure it was the rear main seal...
Question is: Are there any other leaks that only occur while the car is running?
