Just replaced rear main seal; still have an oil leak
Just replaced rear main seal; still have an oil leak
There is oil coming from the bottom of my bellhousing and that semi-circular plate that attaches to the bellhousing. Within 6 hours of parking my car, there is a quarter-sized puddle of oil on the garage floor.
The problem is that I replaced the rear main seal Friday to fix the leak! I have a brand new Fel-Pro seal in there and the leaking continues. The two semi-circular gaskets behind the rear main seal (I don't know their names) were not leaking. My oil pan is dry so I don't think that the pan gasket is leaking.
Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this leak?

I did just switch to Mobil 1 15W50 from regular 10W30 last oil change. This is stretching it because I just put the new seal in, but should I maybe wait a couple oil changes to do something, hoping that the leak will disappear?
