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 thing that catches my eye is the pattern of the damage closest to the seal. This is just a one in a million shot in the dark, but I'd check the back of that seal. (crank side) See if the spring is still in place behind the lip of the seal. It's a long shot, but that pattern looks awful familiar. You would think if it fell out it would stay in the engine, but stranger things have happened.
