Cwallbball10 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I know a guy who has a rear main seal oil leak. He's been driving the car like this for years now. Just make sure you always check your oil level. Come to think of it, I had an old BMW 325i, and it leaked oil from the rear main seal. I drove it for about 6 months, making sure I always kept an adequate amount oil in the engine. Then I sold it, in the same condition, it never caused any problems.

twodmax Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Same here, my 93 300 rear main has leaves small drips in my garage now for 3 years. I think its about $400 to fix but so far no problems just check oil level ounce in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
