Default Re: Rear Main Seal

When I did my timing belt i saw the turbo was wet with engine oil and had washed it. As above it's clean still 14K kms later. The Rear main oil seal still leaks but I'm not bothered yet it's just enough to reach to the bottom of the sump every time I service it, so it gets a spray down with degreaser and I still monitor it. I'm not losing engine oil as there's no change on the dip stick.


I'm still yet to check out around the HP.Fuel.Pump if there's a leak in that back corner but the last time I had the airbox out I checked the vacuum valves and it were all clean down the back there.


Doesn't seem to have worsened when I did my first service 120K to now 214K. My trans will be flushed this service (got a 20L drum a month ago) so will investigate again soon.
