I just returned home from a epic 800 mile round trip with extended highway driving in hot weather.
It did not do my 1988 fj62 any favors. (or my marriage). AC compressor seized so I did most driving old school with windows down.
My once dry engine exterior is now showing a very noticeable engine oil leak from what is most likely the rear main seal. I've stuffed the gap under bell housing with a oil sorbent rag so I could try and gauge how bad it was leaking and keep oil off the underside. I found it saturated about every 200 miles with no huge difference on the dip stick level so I nursed it home hoping I wasn't going to have a catastrophic blow out. The engine has 265K, all new gaskets, new head, hoses and major tune up at ACC about a year ago.
Before I run up my VISA on a transmission pull to change out the seal, is there anyone with leaky LC that is currently using BARs Rear Main Seal repair additive? Any comments appreciated.
