what now...main engine seal leak? or tranny?
hey guys,
just got done dealing with a host of suspension problems due to some bad tokico struts leading to a whole bunch of stuff....and when i had the car in the air doing the alignment i noticed a slight leak at the bottom of the tranny area/clutch... the tech said it was a small leak and not to worry too much unless i lose a lot of fluid but that it was most likely not tranny fluid cuz the clutch is located a little higher and that it could be oil because the oil pan is goes up in that area too..otherwise he said theres a good chance it could be the main engine seal leaking...i dont want to deal with that if i dont have to, but im putting in a turbo kit and new clutch this summer so if anything id like to be able to wait till then when everythings all out to replace the engine seal..
what do u guys think is going on and what do u suggest?
thanks in advance!

I was thinking of getting those Tokico Blues, I never heard of them leaking!
How long have you had them b4 they started leaking?
How much drop did the Eibach Pro Kit with B;ues HP give you?
I hope you sort out all the problem with the leaking!

Its most likely the rear main. Just wait till you do your clutch unless it gets worse.
