Can you see any evidence that it's running down the rear housing, or the mount plate? Is your redrive oil drain OK? Yes, the redrive drain is dry and there's nothing on the mount plate. It's on the other side of the flywheel, so I guess it's the rear seal. Is there anything I can do that doesn't involve removing the engine? BTW, have you run a compression test yet? Planning to? first think in the am Rusty (please don't make me read your whole log ) no reason to, other than the fact that I occasionally take your name in vane there. Works for me - you don't get to fight back. :) How did you get rid of your big oil leak ? I replaced one of the fittings on the turbo oil drain.
