I have an oil leak, giving out about a quart or so every 3 or 4 days. The leak seems to be coming from the rear of the engine closer to the passenger side. My mechanic changed the valve cover gasket and I still have this leak. The new assumption is the crank seal. The charge is 380 (which is what I paid for my motor swap).

Is the 2.2 known to leak from any other possible place besides the Valve cover and oil pan?

The real question is how hard is it to get to the crank seal on a 2.2 and am I being overcharged?

I trust my mechanic but I'm a bit skeptical on his price.

no, that stuff just makes your oil SUPER thick which is bad for the engine. yea, it wont leak as much because its too thick to leak!


to do the rear main you need to remove the transmission, hence the high price.
