My rear main was leaking. I put it off for a while then finally had my mechanic fix it.
he did the pull the tranny method. I know he didn't have to, I asked him why he didn't just pull the pan and do it that way. he just said he just likes doing it that way.
so about a week after I got it back it started leaking even worse.
I brought it back to him he said he thought it was leaking from the rear of the oil pan. he fixed it.
a day of two later it was dripping a little, but not much so I let it go.
then I went to rausch the other day 200mi there wheeled and 200mi back and over the course of the day I lost about 6 quarts!(topped off every few hours)
I called him and he said maybe my pan is bent(I do have a medium size dent in the bottom) and that is keeping it from sealing right.
so far he has done all of this for free, that's the only thing that's keeping me from hating him. and finding someone else.
my question is does this make sense?
oh and its leaking from between the engine and tranny.
thanks in advance.
