Hello all,
been a while since I have bothered you guys. I finally parked my '92 Loyale due to rust, but my middle daughter has
given her 1995 Legacy to me and it has a terrible oil leak. With over 250K on the clock, I'm not surprised that it's leaking something somewhere....
I have been reading about the separator plate leak and this appears to me to be in the area of this leak, unless it's the rear main seal. Man, it is really running out of this. It took her husband around 4 quarts to get it up here and its about 150 miles. Hell when we placed a drip pan underneath it to catch the drips, it was really coming out. I'll bet there's over a quart in the pan right now that came out after he shut it off. Although I do think he overfilled it too.
I am wanting to get this car up and going because my son has a 2002 Chevy Prizm and it is burning a lot of oil and we need to do a ring job on that, so we'll fix this up and he can use that in the interim.
Anyways my main question is, I know I have to either pull the engine or drop the tranny, which do you guys recommend?
Thanks, Toni
