well ive done a bit of reading around and ive been loosing a bit of oil, at first look it was the rocker cover gaskets leaking down to the back of the motor making it appear as a rear main seal leak now rocker cover gaskets are fixed they no longer leak but i was still loosing oil theres like a metal dome bash plate type thing with a hole in it thats got a bit of oil around it and it had a drip of oil on it
i cleaned it off took it for a run left it and checked it a few hours later and the drip of oil has formed again but i dont notice any oil on the drive,
so if it is actually my rear main seal and people are saying that they need to pull the transmission out to replace it would getting the rear main seal replaced be a good excuse for a manual conversion ??? as most of the cost is in labour and the labour is to pull the box out ? could they just change the seal/warped plate while they are at it
