Hi guys,
I need some advice here as I've discovered a leak with my ep3. I done my clutch about 1 month ago with a workshop but when i first spotted the wet patch I was dreading myself that it maybe the rear main seal not being installed properly by my mechanic.
So I've undone the clutch cover plate to get a peak and found that the engine side looks dry but if peer into the side facing the gearbox, i can see some wet patches. This leads me to suspect that I'm leaking transmission oil from the input shaft rather than the rear main seal.
I did recall my mechanic fill the transmission oil from the speedo sensor hole, and I highly suspect they may had overfilled the fluid.
I've checked the driveshafts area, looks relatively dry aside the gap from the bellhousing
I'm going into the mechanic and see what's gonna do. Hopefully it's just as simply draining the fluid that would fix it
Even if it does, I imagine the bell house is pretty wet with oil and the box needs to come out for a clean.
