Oil leak and pressure
By John M. Sutton - 02/05/2002 1:55:30 PM; IP 198.26.132.102
Al: Several thoughts on here, based on my experience. First, the oil seal, it may not be leaking, but oil may be coming from the rear main bearing and seal cap, where the cap joins the block along the sides or along the top. I have been successful using a SMALL amount of RTV sealant along those 3 mating edges. However, if you used a "sneaky pete" to remove and install the seal, the sharp edges along the seal groove may have shaved some of the seal off. Finally, did you put a thin coat of oil on the seal at installation? Once, I burned up an FE rear main seal by putting it in dry.
This thread, so far...
