The rear main seal can be replaced without removing the motor. but it sounds like it might be a worn engine that has caused the rear seal to leak...if the motor is still running check for crankcase pressure by removing the oil filler cap whilst the motor is warm and idling, then put the palm of your hand over the oil filler, if there is crankcase pressure you'll feel the pressure with your palm...you will probably get a small amount of oil spilled out of the oil filler while the engine is running.
If there is pressure, just fitting a new seal will not be a long term repair!! Cheers Engine Guy |
