Well, it was not the rear main. It was the damn wet flywheel bolts! That is some BS. Like your thoughts on the clutch. I will replace the friction disk and have the flywheel surfaced. What do you guys feel about the pressure plate? Clean it and use or shell out $190 for another one?
The pictures that confirm the bolts were the culprit!
Notice the two on the left that have oil all over the threads. The locktite blue does not seal.
Back of flywheel
Case closed, no oil on back of engine from rear main. Now, do I go ahead and replace this rear main with the much higher quality one I have using a install tool that will place it exactly at the right depth and even?
