hello all:
i took my gt out on the highway for the first time today...cruised shawnee mission park, visited friends to show off the car...had a great time!!
but when i got back to the house i noticed a burnt oil or grease kind of smell, and when i looked under the car i noticed a pretty good oil leak coming from where the engine and trans mount together. would i be correct in assuming that the rear main seal is leaking?? that is the only thing that makes sense to me.
it must be the highway speeds (70-85) and the relatively low gearing. i was showing about 3500-5000 rpm on the highway...could it be the oil just flows so freely that it gets out the seal that way??
looking for opinions here. i'm sure that ogts has the seal, if that is what is needed. also: can the trans be dropped with the engine still in the car??
thanks,
mike
