oil leak issues

fc_knuckles · 10-29-2014, 08:25 AM

i fixed the oil line that was broken going to my oil injectors. i replaced the gasket because i had one on hand and when i cleaned it off and rechecked for the leak location it looked like it was dripping from the drain pan. i think it might be coming from my rear main seal. the oil is coming from around where the engine mounts up to the bell housing and is streaming down the top of the transmission. i didnt know if there was a line coming from the top of the engine that it could be dripping for thats why i pulled the intake manifold to double check. are there any thoughts on if it could be the rear main seal and if not do you know of a common problem that it could be. thanks for the advice and links i really appreciate it.
