I have an annoying oil leak from the rear crankshaft seal on a 2 litre spread bore engine. I get a 20 cent piece sized puddle overnight, after a run. I was hoping to change it with the engine in place and the gearbox slid back to gain access. Is this possible or just plain wishful thinking.
Many thanks for any and all advice or suggestions.
cheers

SupporterI agree with John, you will need to remove the flywheel & adaptor housing to do the job. I am not sure on your engine but the 1600 has a trough to catch the oil that gets past the scroll drain to drain the oil back to the sump that can block causing leaks when the trough overflows. I machined the scroll & fitted the later seal to my 1600 when I rebuilt my engine'
