Picked up a Q recently and just noticed it is leaking a TON of oil, the whole back underside of the motor is covered. Its hard to see but I can't tell if its something simple like the oil pan or if its leaking from the rear main. I was trying to see whats most common on these and alot of people say the pressure sensor but thats one of the the few things that is dry.


Considering pulling the motor out and doing new seals and gaskets where I can. Any good source for a full kit?


THANKS!

The oil pan uses RTV.. Really the only things there are the dipstick, the rear main seal and oil pan. Never really heard of a rear main seal going bad unless its damaged, many Q with 200k+ on original rear mains still dry as a bone.

Does it leak enough to leave a spot on the ground?
