Thread: Leaking Oil, rear Seal or Tranny???

  1. 08-18-2009 09:46 PM #1
    I recently changed my clutch. During the project I elected to change the rear engine seal. Soon after the clutch job was complete, I noticed an odd 'wuring' for lack of a better term, noice happening when I was making tight turns at slow speeds. When I raised the car to inspect the transaxle and cv joints, I noticed more oil than any car own would want to note coating he inside of the under sheild, in an area near the tranny but overlapped the engine. Other than a general spread of oil, no place where it appeared to be leaking. I check the eng oil and all looked good. So i left the undersheild off to see if I noticed any area where it was dripping from. No drip.

    All in all I think this is a light spray comming fromming the tranny during operation. I think a sv flange seal was compromised during the install of the clutch. What are your thoughts on the leak and the sound?

    Thanks
