Hoping someone can help me with a recommendation... I live around Sturbridge, MA. I've had a '79 FJ40 that I believe has a leaking (very leaky) main seal. I have a lot of oil coming down behind the oil pan. At first I thought is might be the oil pan seal itself but that seal has already been replaced and there is oil leaking above where that would be. That's why I suspect the main seal. I believe I'm out of my league for a main seal repair. I'm curious if anyone has experience with a mechanic / shop that knows FJ40s around Sturbridge, MA.
Also wondering if I should do the clutch at the same time? I dont have clutch issues but afaik it is the original clutch. And while the engine is separated from the transmission...
And if my diagnosis sounds off, any other ideas would be appreciated. I'm hacking my way around this truck.
TIA!
