Oil Leak From Rear Of Engine

[dcd87]

Good work! And you found a use for those weight plates I do a bit but I don't think I would have taken this on. Sorts out the men from the boys (actually not really PC that is it 'cos I don't know, you could be a woman.... that dryer in the corner )

No that’s the wife’s! Haha.

Thanks for the help everyone. So far it looks good. Had it run up to temperature and so far no leaks. Just need to get a decent run it to feel confident I have built it back up right.

I think I need to drop the drive shaft out again as it looks like the bottom need (closest to final drive) gaitor isn’t seared correctly. I do t want to get any water ingress into there as it all looked clean, dry and corrosion free before I started probing!

Ahh, i see you worked out how to remove the flywheel bolts....

Did you work out the easy option for reconnecting the driveshaft

Steptoe after two hours of trying to get the subframe reconnected then finally realising the drive shaft had disconnected at the final drive, I decided to just remove it and fit it afterwards. I didn’t count on this leading to the brake removal, sensor removal and having to refill my final drive (what can I say. It was late and I was tired!)
