Bought this flywheel new last summer and have put less than 1000 miles on it.
I don't remember seeing these marks when I installed it. What would cause this? I don't see any marks on the case.   Also, besides the rear main seal leaking, it looks like I'm getting some leaking from the gallery plugs (I think that's what these are called). They appear to be in tight. Is it advisable to remove them and put some sort of sealant on them?   |

The galley plugs should probably be removed and re-installed with fresh thread sealant.
They need to be installed quite tightly to eliminate any possibility of weeping. |
