No a rear main seal is the rear seal on the crank shaft of the engine. That portion of the engine is wear the crank shaft connects to the clutch and pressure plate (manual transmission) or where it connects to the torque convertor automatic transmission.

What is the difficulty level on replacing rear main seal on a n excursion its blowing transmission fluid all over passenger side underneath?

Well the rear main seal is at the rear of the engine and would leak engine oil if it was leaking,but if the rear main seal is the leak? it usually requires the removal of the transmisson. But if you know that it is transmission fluid then I would check the transmission cooler lines, transmission cooler, and transmission pan gasket for leaks.


What causes transmission fluid to leak between motor and transmission on a 97 Subaru outback legacy?

A transmission fluid leak between the motor and transmission in a 1997 Subaru Outback Legacy can be caused by a failing rear main seal or a worn-out transmission fluid seal. The rear main seal can deteriorate over time, allowing fluid to escape, while a damaged or improperly installed transmission seal can also lead to leaks. Additionally, excessive pressure buildup in the transmission or engine can exacerbate these issues. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify and address these problems before they lead to significant leaks.

Can replacing a rear main seal cause leakage into the transmission?

No. The transmission is sealed to the input shaft and torque converter inside the bell housing of the transmission. It is possible to leak oil into the bell housing, but that will not migrate into the sealed transmission. If your transmission fluid looks as dark as your motor oil, a flush of your transmission may be in order. -Steve

Where would transmission fluid leak in 1997 Plymouth Voyager?

the grand voyager 96-99 has a fair amount of places it can leak from. The main place I have had trouble with is the external CV axel housing. That's the cone like shape that the cv axel goes into on the passenger side of the transmission. the other places are the differential cover gasket, transmission pan gasket, and the side pan gasket. A common place I have not had leak is in the front there is a box (don't know the name) I havn't had leak on me yet, thankfully. A common reason for the CV axel seals to leak is the motor mounts being bad. I puts stress on the axels creating preassure on the seals in all the wrong ways, if you replace the cvaxel seals... it could be due to bad motor and transmission mount issues.
