oops, wrong leak area - 6/4/2008 7:43:50 PM    Dave S Texas Posts: 80 Joined: 7/10/2006 Status: offline My previous post concerning an o-ring leak was wrong.  I gave the engine a good bath and today went on a 25mi drive.  Suspect area at the oil-filter adapter was bone-dry!  Leak is definitely coming from rear-main seal area.....a bad thing!  Every other gasketed surface is clean for oil leaks.  So, I''m pretty-much scr''wd.  Due to lousy health I can''t do this job and besides that I don''t have any experience in dealing with getting a transaxle out/back in correctly.  Don''t know any local GM mechanics, since I''ve always done my own work.  I think this seal leak is from the car not being used much and my using syn oil.  I doubt a leak-stop would work, since it seems to be a pretty good leak.  Anyway, thanks for the time....
