    Paid a shop $350 for Rear Main seal.. 2 weeks later..

    I mean he could be right it could be transmission oil, but why would replacing the rear main seal stop any leaks for 2 weeks? I'm thinking my main bearings might be worn.. but I do not know how to tell..

    Hey danny thanks alot of providing lots of feedback, but lets see I have a 5-speed, and I asked him about the input shaft seal, he replied 5 speeds don't have a input shaft seal. the leak really isn't bad, it would probably only drip a drop or two a day. and I'm sure it isn;t the oil pan...

    Paid a shop $350 for Rear Main seal.. 2 weeks later..

    actually when i first got the car and replaced the PCV valve, the original valve was pretty clogged because it didn't rattle when I shook it, and is probably why the rear main leaked anyways. I'm using a fram pcv valve is that okay? and I put 4 quarts of oil in my engine.

I wonder how I should tell them install the seal, I mean it really isn't rocket science, but at...

    Oil leak on flywheel cover (replaced oil pan and Rear main seal)

    Yeah I do need to learn more about how it works, I mean when I first bought the car it has a plugged pcv valve but i replaced that, and a honda tech said that a plugged pcv valve shouldn't cause a leak, plus i changed th pcv valve before replacing the rear main seal. I'm pretty sure it is the...
