Hey there,
Ever since I own my BJ74, it has lost a couple drops of engine oil. It wasn't that noticeable at until the last couple of years when a 2-drop pattern as if the leakage came from both rear corners of the oil pan took shape. After cleaning, I came to realize the leak might come from the crankshaft oil seal.
Even though the oil level drop is not noticeable between OCs I kind of started thinking it would be a good idea to replace the seal(s).
Has anyone done this before or found a similar leakage? I assume the gearbox has to come down; is there any other part that must be replaced during the process of changing the oil seal? (pic attached). My rig is an ATM, just turned 62k miles.
Thanks in advance for all the useful inputs. I'll try to post a pic of the underside of the car.
