So, I pulled the cover down from under the flywheel, (not sure the name of that cover), and there was a small pool of oil in it. I assume the issue is a leaking rear main seal. The tranny does not seem to be leaking from the front near the shaft. Can anyone tell me the best/ easiest way to fix this leak. I have not pulled the oil pan yet, so I am not sure if it is a rope seal or a modern neoprene seal. But I would like to avoid pulling the engine. I was thinking that if I removed the rear main cap, I could replace the bottom half of the seal and add some RTV to the joint, assuming it is a modern seal, or use a Sneaky Pete to replace the rope seal if it has one of those. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, how can I confirm it is the rear main seal?
