Well I finally got my first working rear main seal replacement. Never had one actually work before. Atleast as far as I can tell anyway, havent actually taken it for a drive, just ran it in the drive for about 20 minutes.
All looked excellent... until it started ******* oil out the back again. This time it wasnt running down the back of the pan, but down the passenger side of the block. And boy is it a runner!
At first I figure its the head gasket, and it must be completely blown or something. But that area looks good so far. So then my gut starts to wrench, and I check the back of the valley pan. Yep. Damn turbo must be leaking from somewhere. The back of the valley pan had a pretty good pool going.
MAN! I didnt want to work on this thing anymore, especially with my frickin broken finger!
Our luck, we tore the valley pan grommet, one of the last new ones in the country, and now they dont exist.
