Oil leak from the oil galley in crankcase at transmission
Has anyone else had this leak?
Fixed all my other oil leaks only to discover I have an oil leak coming from the crankcase oil galley right where it meets the transmission.
My mechanic showed it to me when it was on the lift.
Apparently the transmission has to be pulled in order to reach an allen bolt there that is leaking.
I found a photo online of the oil galley. Just can't see the area near the transmission in the photo.
It's the rear galley oil plug that's leaking now.
Just spent $$ fixing oil leaks from valve cover, oil filter housing, and transmission pan.
Only to discover this leak which now requires the transmission come out in order to access the rear galley plug.
In searching around I found out those were not torqued properly at the factory.
Should replace the rear main seal while I'm in there.
Also probably the driveshaft carrier bearing.
