On a recent 5000klik(3000mi) an oil leak appeared towards the front?(between engine and tranny) of the engine. Definitely motor oil not tranny fluid. Added a quart to top up to full after discovering the leak during the first half of the trip. Since that time it's only been necessary to add 1/4 of a quart. Appears to leak only while driving,however. I'm assuming a leaky main seal(terminology?)between engine and tranny. Is there any other possible source for an oil leak in this area? If in fact I do have to drop the motor what other work should I consider. The oil cooler comes to mind. Torque converter seal maybe? Did an e-mail search of the archives with key words "oil leak". Over 900 matches but shows only first 100. Is there a way to access the other 800 or so? Thanks in advance, Phil Menchions '89 Westy Torbay,NF Canada
