LiamCarmichael Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I have a '98 Starlet SR, I am an apprentice with Land Rover and finally got the chance to put my car on a hoist and check the condition of my exhaust and find an oil leak... Well I found it, between the bell-housing and engine block, so far all I can think is rear main? I don't mind changing just the seal, would like some guidance on how to go about it as I am sure it won't be as simple as drop the box and take off the clutch? had a look around and cannot find what I assume a rear main seal for a 4-EFE looks like; any tips/help appreciated. Thanks Liam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) You will need the remove the flywheel as well, its sits behind itThe rubber seal is just a big flat ring.

Russleh Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I think this has been leaking on all 3 starlets I've owned . I think it's just that thing these engines do lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
