'98. 4.0L. Manual. 172k miles. Original owner.
Problem: Leaking rear main seal. New silver-dollar-sized oil spot on the garage floor after sitting for ~24 hours.
Two questions:
1. Has anyone tried product like Bar's for "sealing leaks in the rear main seal?"
2. The clutch is original and will need to be reconstructed somewhat soon. How much more work is involved in replacing the rear main seal as part of the clutch job?
The idea is to somehow "seal" the leak until the clutch goes and do both jobs at one time.
Thanks for your comments. This is a great forum.
