Is that going from the crank case out through the bell housing drain hole?

Do you have a ladder set up such that you have to walk under it every time you go to wrench on the car?

Good lord, man.

Is that oil coming out of the weep hole in the bellhousing, where it would leak if the rear main were shot?

I'll zip the trans off tomorrow and see what's up. O'Reilly has some felpro seals in stock or I'll get an oem next week.

Hailey works the next two weekends so I had nothing planned anyways.

Got a new Milwaukee impact, been needing a reason to break it in.

Edit: ah ****, I have a track day on Thursday. Going to have to do it this weekend. Felpro it is.

Also keep in mind I have put over 100 miles on the car since RMS replacement. So it worked for a bit, then decided not to work...

Oh No...
That's so ******* weird that it crapped out at 100 miles. I wonder what happened. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

I'm surprised you guys didn't know that Aidan spends a majority of his free time throwing black cats at mirrors.

Sounds like the corrosive cocktail he poured into the cylinders ate the rubber on the seal, or the RTV sealing piece that holds the rear main seal. In for results!

I'm hoping it's not a pan leak, because it only leaks while running.

@afm is bringing me a new OE rear main seal from California.

It's weird that the front main went untouched.

Look how much lower the RMS is in the pan than the FMS.
