I rebuilt my engine last winter. After the initial break in, I noticed a small leak from where the engine case and transmission join together. I assumed it was a rear main seal leak. I drove it for about 100 miles since it wasn't to bad, hoping it would clear- it didn't. I took out the transmission and inspected the rms. It was perfectly alinged and I did not see any source for the leak. I replaced the RMS since I was in there. Even after the RMS replacement- it still leaks slightly. It hasn't been a huge deal. I have never noticed a decrease in oil level on the dipstick- its just very annoying cause it drips on my headers.
A few notes- -definitely engine oil leak- oil is green, I am using Brad Penn oil -oil galley plugs were replaced during the engine build and are bone dry -engine runs extremely well -case was check and within specs prior to rebuild. Any ideas on what could cause this chronic leak? Is it possible that my schadeck 30mm pump is making the oil pressure too high and therefore causing a slow leak? |
