*Pics* Wow, I Have a Leak!

[SHO_ROLLER_2]

My SHO is in the service dept. getting a rotate and balance. I decided to get a good look at what's going on under there. Well, the pictures say it all. I'm leaking PS fluid (knew that already) and oil. I'm thinking oil pan gasket? Looks like it's leaking from the trans (rear main) but there is no signs of the clutch slipping or anything. Plus, it was changed out about 50K miles ago when I did the clutch.

Thanks for the help!

Eh mine looks like that, typical SHO to me. Unless you've gone through the whole car, these cars do leak a little oil somewhere. I cleaned a bunch of sludgy crap off of my oil pan and tranny with brake clean. I was under there anyway changing the tranny fluid.

Leak a little? What?

To the OP, clean everything under there, but good, and track down that leak. And fix it.

FWIW, right now my car has a PS leak that keeps the return line at the cooler moist. It's nothing like that.

Check valve cover gaskets, OP sensor, and oil level sensor. If those are okay, then it's probably the rear main seal. Live with it until time for a new clutch.

The seal behind the cam sensor. My 95 leaked so bad it would run down the block all over the cat and frame rail. POS felpro seals.

Thanks! That's what I'm thinking too. I'll clean it all up tomorrow (day off) and see if I can find it.

I would think a rear main would cause my clutch slip?

hey, look on the bright side! at least you know the metal parts all that oil/fluid is covering is protected from rust!
