Anyone have any ideas why the dealership can't fix the continuously leaking rear engine seal on my 95 Max SE? The car has 130,000 miles on it and it has been to the dealership several times in the last three months. Originally I got the clutch replaced and the rear seal replaced. The rear seal continued to leak and a new one was put in again. That one leaked and yet another new one was put in. Now after 3 weeks of no problems it's leaking again Any ideas? Assume that the dealership is competent what should I ask them to check. I don't think anything should be warped. The engine has never even come close to overheating and it's always been properly maintained. I'm getting concerned. I wanna get a ypipe but if I can't keep oil in my car I'd better hang on to my $$$$$$$$$$$ for repairs. Someone please suggest something. Thanks.

Well, I'm not too sure what seal you are talking about, but check out the shaft if the seal is for a ratating shaft. There might be dirt, paint, or could even be scratched up.

Thanks for the reply, I think the leak is finally fixed. I hope the engine drive shaft isn't wobbling. Everything seems fine now.

Huh?? Did you stuff a pillow on it or something?!?

Nah, I had the dealer replace the seal when they installed my ACT II. It kept leaking after their work, so they kept trying to eliminate the leak since it was all free to me but their labor. Took three tries. They had a different mechanic work on it the third time. But yeah, I wondered if they just crammed stuff in there to catch all the oil, or I've got a huge puddle of oil filling up my clutch housing. It all seems fine, and my oil level is consistent.
