I found an oil leak, after cleaning the transmission, oil pan, and front diff with brake cleaner then checking again I realized it has to be the engine oil pan seal. We compared the oils to fresh oil for the other components, it looks to be engine oil.
My mechanic said it could be the rear main seal, but I doubt it since I just did the water pump, timing belt, differential fluid, transmission fluid. That was one of the seals I replaced, so the engine now has to come out to get a better eye.
Now here is my question, what should I replace at this point, so I don't have to take this beast out of the engine bay again later.
I currently have to replace these because of other issues I came across:
Compressor with seals
Condenser with seals
Evaporator for front with seals
I decided to completely remove the rear AC at this point I haven't found an efficient fix without replacing the aluminum line with one that it originally had. It does not do well with salt and not worth the work.
I am currently looking at:
Oil pan lower gasket, RTV for upper pan gasket, figure 8 seal, and main oil pump seal.
Perhaps the Engine mounts since I'm there?
What could be done at this point, since it has to be a take out?
