Oil leak #999501 06/09/10 02:40 AM

Need a Spot
I have an 89 raider 3.0 V6 that has an oil leak that appears to be coming from the rear oil pan area. It's fairly constant leaving a grapefruit sized puddle when I shut it off. Pressure is fine. One time I checked the bolts on oil pan and they were somewhat loose, so I tightend the ones I could reach. Couldn't get to the back ones. It helped some, but has returned. I'm also afraid it could be the rear main seal, don't know for sure. Question: what needs to be done and how diffacult would it be to change rear main seal and oil pan gasket? Thanks.

Rear main seal: tranny has to come back to get at it.

Oil pan gasket: Either raise the engine slightly or drop the front pumpkin to give you enough room to get the pan down. Use Fel-pro P/N OS30570T following the included instructions...


Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...
