Doing a clutch on this 05. Once I got the airbox, battery plastic stuff removed I can see quite a bit of oil leaking from what I assume is the valve cover gasket on the drivers side of the engine.
Anyhow, when I got the trans/clutch/flywheel of the car the rear main seal is covered in oil too, but the backside of the flywheel is bone dry. With that in mind, I'm not convinced that the rear main is leaking. I think it's all coming from up top near the valve cover. Opinions on replacing the rear main seal? I don't have the tool and the car only has 98k on it. Thoughts?
