Subject:Work Estimate -- Oil Leak Repairs
From:Gabriel Hourtouat

What is the reality of this?  I have an oil leak that I would like to have
repaired.  What should I expect to be the level of effort and cost?

The oil leaks onto the front plate that supports the exhaust system (seems
to be labeled Bentley, page 26.9)
-Where is that coming from most likely?
-What will it take to repair it?

Leaks about 2 tbs of oil into a boot tray after the van comes to a stop.
Elsewhere in Bentley I think I saw that the clutch bell has an oil seal for
the main shaft?  Is this the culprit?  Or is it leaking passed the clutch
housing gasket?

It seems to be engine oil; so I am confused: Is the clutch housing full of
engine oil???
