Hello All,
Well, I finally got the transmission out of the rover last night. After
much input, I finally decided to go with the method described in the green
bible, so out the top she came.
I am now in the process of trying to determine where the waterfall oil leak
is coming from. She was leaking oil very badly through the drain hole in
the bell housing and between where the bell housing and engine meet. I
think it is just the tranny leaking, but it could be the rear main seal. My
question is: With the transmission removed, is it OK to start and run the
engine long enough to determine if the rear main seal is leaking? I realize
that without the tranny on, there is no load on the crank shaft, and that
this can cause a problem in some cars.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Brian
