Hey guys;
So i may have jumped the gun on rear main seal, It might not have needed to be changed. I know for sure my valve cover gasket is leaking badly in the rear. But besides that, I have been working on the jeep for about 2 weeks now changing the rear main seal. I had a lot of trouble with it, ended up having to remove shocks, sway bar links (both of them broke), and still not enough clearance. So i decided to remove trac bar and drag link, the head off that hold the track bar bolt broke, as well as the ball joint of the track bar. So if that wasn't enough shit going on in my life I saw a green drop forming from the middle of the block and drop down on my head. Shortly after another drop was forming i grabbed it and tried mixing it with oil and sure enough it doesnt mix. I looked this morning and there are maybe 3 drops of water on the floor, but it doesnt look green. What do you guys think?
The car hasnt been used in about a month now. Before that it had overheated badly due to water pump not having fins, and entire cooling system being clogged (bought it that way). Cooling system has been resolved I drive it with no overheating issues, and checked the oil throughout to make sure i never saw water in it. The oil that came out of the pan looked just like old black oil, but I didnt seen any water or emulsion. What the hell is going on here?
Any input is appreciated.
