When I was under my car installing the Racing Beat header I noticed that the front cross member and trans bell housing was covered in oil.
Not sure if it is the trans front seal or engine rear main seal.
Any thoughts? Covered under warranty?

 

Clean off the oil and check again in few days and see if it comes back. Maybe when changing your oil filter some oil made its way down there and got on your front cross member and trans bell housing.

 

thats the normal case. if you decided to take your filter off before draining the pan

 

I hope that is the case but I doubt it as I had not done a recent oil change and the dozens that I have done did not oil up my bell housing and cross member.
The 10 plus track days this last season may have taken it toll

 

i noticed the same problem on my way to my last track weekend..

well. it is the front tranny seal.. yes it sucks.. but i am at 98k miles. dont feel so bad..

I am hoping to have it replaced under warranty as I have less than 20k on a 2005 model. Might be a good opportunity to get a light wt flywheel and performance clutch installed I will have to search the forum for recommendations.

 

great idea,

i had that done when they changed the motor in my car. i would contact Charles R. Hill by pm..
