OK, an update for everyone...
I put the car up on stands and there is
oil EVERYWHERE...it's ALL OVER the scatter shield, it's even as far back as the tail stock of the tranny; so why it's getting that far is beyond me...either way I pulled the little clutch fork cover off and sure enough there's
oil all over that too...needless to say I picked up my new rear main seal tonight and I get to start the teardown tomorrow...
My questions now are:
- How the hell did
oil get EVERYWHERE?
- and Why the hell did the thing go when I've only got 1000 miles on this engine??
Thanks for all your help so far!
