Helo everyone, how are ya going? Just wondering if anyone can help me out here. Ive recently had the clutch changed out on my rodeo ( 2.6 ltr ) and had the rear main changed also. There was quite a bit of oil coming out before it was changed and it was the rear main that was leaking because the following had been changed trying to diagnose it..

Valve cover gasket
Head Gasket
Distributor o-ring
Front main

Now the guys have told me that the engine is possible over pressurizing the crankcase and forcing oil out of these seals. The engine has done 370,000 kms and it going very strong!!

It looks like i need to overhaul the bottom end, what exactly do i need to address this overpressurizing, just the piston rings from what ive researched, but i will do the usual main and rod bearings also. Am i right in thinking that changing the piston rings will stop this from happening, and just doing the bearings seeing as im there right? or wrong <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Thanking you
Adam.
