Re: oil pouring through rear main seal
Thanks again for the response. I feel nothing escaping from any of the orifices. The sound is definitely coming from the rear main area, and sounds like liquid and maybe gas being pushed through a tight space.
Just to rule out head gasket or other issues, tonight I'm going to do compression and leakdown. If those come up clear, then I'll buy a new rear cover and seal kit. Maybe the cover itself is warped and the high-pressure passage at the top is leaking. While I have it off I'll also check the oil filter barbell to be sure it's there and in the right place.
