well to outline this problem, i have been having an oil leak that has just gotten worse in recent weeks. it is coming from the backside of the engine and drips on the the plastics and the flexpipe.
i am going to be doing an oil dye test tommorow to get more info.

here is where the problem comes
the engine is under warranty at a shop in philadelphia. the last time i had a problem, i had blown a head gasket and they said it was dude to my headers having gasket leak, which i later found out could not happen. it cost me $500 to fix.
this oil problem from what i have been told, could most likely be the rear main seal, which is part of the rebuilt engine as i have assumed. there arent any items that i have added to the car that could effect this. i dont want to get screwed over and told that it was something that i put on to cause this. i just want to take it there and have them fix it (if it is the rear main seal or another engine component)

this needs to be dealt with now so i really need your guys opinions asap
thanks kindasad.gif

i know i should of done it before and i am paying alot for it now. i am going to oil dye it tommorow. and talk to the shop. if they do diagnose it and say that it isnt under warranty i will have to pay for them dropping the trans and etc.
if it is then i will be very shocked. i can tell them to put a higher quality seal in there but its in their hands.
how long of a process would this take for them to replace it?
