Nic New Member 3 Member For: 8y 7m 2d Posted 06/09/16 09:53 AM Share Posted 06/09/16 09:53 AM Hi - wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and how you fixed it. BF XR6T no mods 250,000 Ks Leaking from rear main seal - seal changed still leaking. Used after market seal - replaced with genuine Ford seal - still leaking. Fitted sleeve - still leaking. Takes about one day of not being used for leak to start - leaks about 10ml of oil per day - no other leaks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine leaked around the rear bearing cap as I didn't put sealant on it. Rookie error. Also there are a few different sized seals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
