Hi Guys,
I'm changing the transmission in my car and the rear main seal is leaking a little bit.
Back story is: I put a new clutch in about 2000 miles ago and while the crank seal area was oily I didn't know if it had come from one of the oil leaks above or the crank seal itself, so I just cleaned it up and put the new clutch in.
Well I have the tranny out and it does appear to be leaking a little oil onto the back of the flywheel (There are no more oil leaks above that could contribute) so I figured I would change it "while I'm in there".
Can I do it without dropping the oil pan?
Engine is still in the car and would love not to have to drop the pan if I don't have too.
Thanks in advance.
