FWIW (and YMMV) rear engine seals don't usually go bad until prompted to by a
worn out rear main bearing.

Rear engine seal (I hope). Oil coming from the weep hole in the bell housing.
I'm half a quart down right now on the engine oil so I am assuming that is it.
I guess we will find out when we pull it.
Definitely not CAS o-ring (recently replaced) due to the weep hole leak.

Rear engine seal or front trans seal? (or CAS o-ring?)

My oil leak is getting a little worse and I think I am close to pulling
the seal and replacing it. I have had a new seal laying around forever but have
been too lazy to pull the tranny and do the work. I know how to pull the tranny
but anyone have tip for pulling the seal or replacing it? Just looking for any
little tricks you guys may have up your sleeve...
