Re: [DML] Rear main seal wear

[dherv10@xxxx]

Christian, I personally have never had problem like that. I have also ordered 
rear mains from two different sources and they all look the same as if they 
are coming from one source. The seal is a flexible rubber that normally snugs 
around the extension of the crank shaft. It also has a spring wire inside it 
to hold it snug.
It normally only goes one way and it's real simple to install once you pull 
the transmission. I don't see how they could mess it up. There is a front and 
back view on the site. Here is the

I suppose they could be right, and I'll just have to live with an oil
puddle in the garage, but I'm hoping that they're wrong. Has anyone had
any experience with rear main leaks that don't seem to go away? Any
solutions? Do you recommend any oil additives to try to plug the leak? Do
you recommend that I stay far, far away from leak sealer additives?

Are there any tricks to installing the seal that this shop may not know
about?
