Jeep Tech QuestionsIt’s Just Marking Its Territory
I have a ’77 CJ7 with the original 258ci inline-six hooked up to a T-18 four-speed. It seems like I’ve always had a drip of oil hanging on the bottom of the bellhousing. So I finally replaced the rear main seal, and even though it appears to be a good seal (there is no oil coming down the face of the bellhousing from the rear main area), there still is a drip of oil on the bottom of the bellhousing. Is it possible there is gear oil from the tranny making its way into the inside of the bellhousing, and that’s a drip of gear oil I’m seeing and not engine oil? I know very little about transmissions so I’m not sure where that leak might be, or if it’s possible. Thanks for your help!
