Recommendations for rear seal repair
Hello,
My 1997 Maxima SE 5 spd with 110,000 is leaking oil from what I believe to be the rear main seal. The car is otherwise in great shape, so I’d like to repair the leak. If I understand what would be necessary to repair the leak correctly, I would probably get a new clutch at the same time.
Can anybody give me a mechanic recommendation in the Des Moines area? I’d also appreciate opinions on what would be a fair price for P&L.
Thanks,
Mike

Indeed, I've never seen a VQ rear main leak, it's always been the upper oil pan gasket (well, the half moon seal between the pan and the RMS retainer).

fwiw, I just pulled my vq30 and the RMS had a VERY small leak. it seemed like it was a couple dribbles. and it was a 148k engine.
