Im wondering if anyone Here ever Run into the problem I'm having I've replace the oil pan twice I've used that black gasket sealant I've use over 4 gaskets dropped the pan over 5 time cleaned it really good I mean cleaned it hella good and it leaks in the same spot right next to the flywheel towards the back part . Idk what else to do . My car recently started jerking really hard in 1st year maybe that oil in getting in there ? Idk someone please help me out

 

Are you sure the oil is leaking from the oil pan? Have you removed the cover on the bottom of the transmission that closes of the bell housing to see if anything is leaking from there?

 

It's leaking right from the top rear corner where the cover goes on the flywheel it's coming from gasket . I notice there's a line like that connects from the flywheel to where the pan bolts up I was seeing if that nut is loose but it's tight I wish I could show a pic every time I try to post a pic on here some random guy pops up with a black lancer

 

check your rear main seal...

 

Will oil leak out the gasket of the oil pan of the main seal is broken ? And also any idea why the car jerks in 1st gear

 

You can see the rear of the crank shaft here in the bottom right. Where the flywheel connects, if that seal around the shaft goes bad it could appear to be coming from the oil pan.

 

I'm doing my clutch soon so do I have to take out the whole tranny to get to it ? And wouldn't it have to get past the oil pan gasket ? Or is there another way it could get out ?

 

car jerking in first is probably your clutch...yes the transmission needs to come off to replace the clutch.


not sure what you're asking, in the above question

 

No to get to the main seal ?

 

If the rear main seal is leaking from where does it leak out ? Thats what I'm asking doesn't it have to go through the oil pan gasket

 

No, it leaks from between the crankshaft and the seal, or the block and the seal. It will run down and could appear to be the oil pan gasket.

 

Yes, the oil pan touches the rear main seal housing...so if it was leaking between the block and the housing, then it would look like the oil pan was leaking...this is what the rear of the block looks like with no transmission/flywheel/clutch...

 

Ok so just wait till I remove the tranny to get to it huh

 

yes, I replaced my rear main not too long ago, it's pretty easy.
