I have to change my rear main oil seal this summer and so obviously the tranny has to come out.

Every time the tranny comes out you get a little oil leaking out of the axle ports, even if it's drained.

I'm wondering if there is a way to leave the tranny full of oil and buy a couple plastic plugs that you can pop in once the axles come out to prevent any oil leaks while you pull the tranny.

Is this possible, has anyone heard of doing this? Any sources online to buy such a piece?

Thanks dudes.

 

ive used old axles I happen to have laying around. I popped the inner joints off and plugged them in

 

Drain it and pop the seals out with tranny in car should have room under there to do the job.
