Rear main seal. You do not have to drop the engine to get to it, but you do have to take off the flywheel. It ain't easy.
Doing it sooner than later is best, because you may get by without having soaked the clutch in motor oil. Clutch plates are about 100 bucks. Get the 6 spring Sachs. That is an extra $350-500 if you do have to replace the entire clutch assembly. Damn thing is that the rear main seal is about 10 bucks. Change the cable and all the parts at the same time. I am about to myself. Was the car sitting for a while, did you overfill the engine, or was it a really hot drive? There is no particular reason why they let go, other than the spring in the seal itself loses tension. I have replaced at least 1 on each car I had. 6 914's. 6 seals. Get it from Pelican or AA. Should be orange in color. Kind of doubt it would be a tranny seal if it is coming down the housing and fork. John |
