I changed my oil today and realized i had less than a qt of oil in my engine.. the oil light never came on.
i have noticed i have an oil leak.. i can only see it from under the car and it seems to be coming from the engine itself. maybe from this little hole?
im not sure where to begin in pin-pointing and repairing the leak?

 

Sure its not coming from somewhere up top? I had oil everywhere top and bottom and it ended up being the little o-ring behind distributor.

 

If its not coming from up top i would say it is the rear main seal or the oil pan is leaking.

 

i havent really noticed anything up top, but i will try to locate the distributor and check it out.

thanks

 

i checked out the dizzy and nothing.. it is definitely the rear main seal.
How difficult and expensive is that repair?

 

well... i purchased some NO LEAK.. it says it repairs rear main seals.. i guess i will find out. The leak is not too bad so im guessing it will at least extend the time i have before repair. Has anyone used this before?

 

Miracles in a can are almost always more harm than good. If you're not going to fix the leak right away, just keep an eye on the oil level and add more as it leaks out.

Rear seal replacement involves taking the transmission out of the car like changing the clutch does, after that is done it is not complicated at all.
