My advice is the same as last year, use the cork gasket for the rear U seal, & consider a standard felpro gasket instead of the 1 piece, & be sure to use the rear corner tabs. As a band aid you can try a good sealer like ATP305 or even bars rear main sealer along with a high mileage oil to see if that helps.
I remember this well from last year my friend.................lol...........i thought it was fixing itself, looked good for awhile but now its getting worse..........couple pics for you here but hard to see anything, i cleaned up stuff today, hard to believe with oil everywhere except the rear bumper.........ok not that bad.
Hard to tell from the pics but i can see where i put some right stuff along the edges of the bop gasket, just didnt use the cork gasket in the grove..........seems im getting a little oil in the bellhousing by the clutch, wasnt there last year.
Was thinking today, just sell the car at a loss and be done with it...............but i have 25 yrs with it, just hard to let go, but this pulling motor for the 4th time is really getting old. and im still worried its gonna be the same old song and dance, leaking oil.
As per Barts note, to find someone to put this together with the rms.............im not doing this on my own, these are shops doing it.
Im gonna drive the car this summer and hope for the best....................hoping a motor will pop up on the forum that isnt insane compression level................tried a couple times with bulters, but everytime i call they say no more motors for this year.............
I guess im really getting old, i read, just pull it, no big deal..............well im not thinking along those lines.............lol
Well anyways, few pics, not sure you can tell anything one way or the other.
Forgot to mention............really couldnt tell if any oil was on the front of the flywheel...........looked liked there might have been some, but i figure it got flinged off..............will post a pic of where i drilled a few holes in the inspection plate, thought this might be better than oil staying in by the clutch area...........thinking this might be worse for driving as i said oil is all over my trans and exhaust from driving.
