i changed my rear main seal like 6 months ago to prevent any more oil leaks leaking past the flywheel, making my clutch slip like crazy. its getting worse now!!!



is there any other seal beyond the rear main seal that could cause this? also i noticed that when i cleaned the back of the motor, there was two dowell pins (sp) that was leaking oil right away after spraying it with brake cleaner.



or is this oil leak a result of worn out oil seals/oil control rings that causes it to leak past the rear main seal heavily?



any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

front trans seal.

Oil pedalstal seal if leaking bad enough will run down the back of the engine.
