    Gear oil Leaking into Motor Oil

    by poway450 » Mon Nov 27, 2006 1:11 pm

    I went to the desert this weekend and noticed i was losing gear oil and gaining motor oil. I changed it out there and you could see the two different oils coming out of the motor oil drain hole. Any one heard of this. How do you fix it. I read some things bout it happening if you over fill the gear box but that is it.

    I would hope the only way this is possible is if the right-side crank seal is bad. A leak down test would tell you this...

    It is the seal between the engine and tranny, fairly common problem.
