Oil Leaking into bellhousing area

[mkiiisupra]

Oil is slowly dripping out of the bellhousing area around the bolt on the right side if u roll under the front. Its a very small leak has been doing this ever since i got the turbo diagnoised and the oil changed. Mechanic is kinda far off so dont wanna just take it back to him...

Over a week its been dripping out and still have over the full line so vry small leak just want to be able to fix without having to drive 60miles ;( any ideas?

theres two possibilities and nethier is pretty, it could be your rear main seal or your transmission input shaft seal, there not easy to fix either you have to take the engine out or drop the transmission, but once youve do that the hard part is over just pull the flywheel off and pull out the old seal and replace, seals are pretty cheap to. now if its the transmission seal im not 100% sure but i think you have to take off the bell housing and is pretty much the same procedure

any risk of it getting worse if not taken care of? like i said vry samll leak.....

what do i need to remove to see where its coming from

and is this the fault of guy who did oil change or just happens over time?

It could be alright for a while. But if it gets too bad, either from the rear main seal or transmission, our gonna eventually lose your clutch.

found a leak coming from a tube above bellhousing near the engine pretty sure thats where leak is coming from, looks like someone patched that spot before small peice of rubber put on it
