A small oil leak.
2 drops in 600 miles on a brand new motor. It's coming from the rear of the engine. Heres what has been done. Dye added to the oil to find the offending oil vessel spurting this precious commodity. Found a very small dab on the bottom of the back of the engine. It was suggested that the owner drive for awhile to let the dye circulate and then look for the offending area.
Owner removed the tranny, clutch, pressuer plate and flywheel. He found a small amount of dye oil in the area. He removed the 1 piece rear main seal from the crank and is concerned that the engine side of the seal is coated with dye. Wants to know if the seal is supposed to have oil in this area.
