Oil Leak 1994 V6

[Cyl]

I have a leak towards the rear of my engine. Bell housing is covered in oil. I have replaced the valve cover gaskets and the oil doesnt seem to be leaking from them, or the O shaped seals at the ends.

I never replaced the intake gaskets, only the gasket for the intake plenem. no oil in coolant though so I dont know if that could be a problem.

I guess I am just wondering... if it aint the valve covers then where else could oil be leaking besides the rear main? I dont have the means to remove the transmission.

Could be coming from the oil cooler?

Just sounds like the rear main seal. You will either have to take it somewhere or pull the tranny yourself. Bad news but honest.

Clean the area real well and you should be able to find it
