Re: Oil Leakage?

I realised that my civic has an oil leakage on the centre side at the bottom of the gearbox. We believe that it comes not from the gearbox itself but from the crank. I don't notice any drop in the oil but its annoying.

Worst case it could be the crank seal, I think there is one.

Best case is it's just the pan, happens with a lot of cars. I had this and fixed it not by a new gasket (though I bought it and still have it!), but by fastening all the screws and bolts a bit further. Worked like a charm. I had the leakage btw on the pulley side.

I guess its the crank seal as the oil drains from the gearbox side
