Trying to fix multiple oil leaks in this. How can I determine if rear main is leaking
(without pulling GB). Thanks  |

If there is oil in front of the engine/gearbox split, that oil is not coming from the main seal. Remember, gravity will pull the oil down and air flow will push it back. So it will be very unusual for oil to come from somewhere lower and further aft to get onto something higher and further forward.
You can try cleaning up the area and see where oil accumulates. --DD |
