Thanks for all your comments. In addition, I searched Oil Leaks in the
archives and copied 3 pages of comments going back to 2000 =
approximately.
It is interesting. =20
=20
Many indicated no longer any oil leaks after installing new rear seal. =
Some
indicated they still had some leakage. Some indicated oil leakage =
stopped
after installing Positive Crankcase Ventilation. So, I installed a PCV
system by attaching a hose to the 1/4-inch opening next to the current
3/8-inch opening used by the brake booster. I had to use =BC-inch fuel =
rubber
tubing attached to the pcv valve at the T on top of the valve cover. As =
my
aluminum valve cover had a side vent, I sealed it off with a piece of
rubber. Then I went for a 24-mile ride in traffic and on the highways =
not
exceeding 60 mph just incase and came home. I let the engine run at idle
with the fan and electric water pump running for a while and put a sheet =
of
cardboard under the weep hole. While I was doing that there were no oil
drops. In addition, I walked my driveway and found no drips. =
Nevertheless,
I placed a can underneath the weep hole overnight. In the morning, I =
found
one drop in the can which could be left over from the previous heavy
dripping. I have done this test three times no dripping and no measure =
loss
of oil on the dip stick.
=20
As soon as I am comfortable with the results, I will take a highway run =
at
65 -75 plus. Meanwhile, may solve the problem of rear seal oil leakage
and, no doubt anywhere else on the engine. Eventually, I will have to =
pull
the trans, clutch etc. to clean the clutch or replace the clutch =
friction
disk as it is slipping due to oil. At that time will look at the new =
added
on seal. =20
=20
Current question is who has no leaks after rebuild with or without PVC
system? =20
