GeneralDisorder Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Rear of engine where? Top, bottom, left, right? How far rearward? What does the "valve" look like. A picture might help.... can you positively identify it as engine oil? Could it be transmission gear oil, or cv joint grease? AT fluid? Best guess from your description - possibly the PCV valve?? Rear main seal? Better question - what model/year of car you working on? GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlelegacy Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 How difficult is it to replace main seals? Any pictorials? :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 How difficult is it to replace main seals? Any pictorials? :-\ EA81 or EA82? Rear is the same for both - pull engine, and it's right behind the flywheel. Pretty easy. Front is literally a 15 minute job on the EA81 - just remove the crank pully bolt, slide the pully off, pull the old seal with a screwdriver, and push in the new one. Button it up, tighten the accesory belts - done. EA82 is more involved as you basically are forced to do a timing belt job to get to the front seal... might as well do the belts, tensioners, water pump, oil pump, cam seals, etc, etc when you do the seal. Hehe. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
