oil leak -> oil in bell housing

[stronzen]

hi guys,

we have a slight problem wone of our fds here

couple of days ago we found a bit of oil under the car

investigated that on the lift and found it to be leaking out of the bell housing (pretty much where the clutch is sitting)
it was coming out of the  little hatch on the bottom side of it

my mechanic (not a rotary expert, but a decent nut runner) said it would be some sort of a seal sitting at the end of the engine block itself ! pretty much in the last chamber ...

i tried to mark in the pics







can some of you comment on this ?
is he correct with the diagnosis ?

if so, where can i get those seals ? part number maybe

[bumpstart]

usually the rear seal in rear stat or rear stat O ring
but on FD just double check the turbo drain to the rear of the block

for the rear seal issues the gearbox and flywheel needs to come off and you prise it out with screwdriver
and you can withdraw the rear stat in car ( if you are careful ) to fix the O ring if required

seals and O ring are not expensive

any chance to have a sketch or drawing of those parts buddy ?

o ring

thanks for those !

is this a engine out job ?

[shaunwil]

Its a gearbox out job more than an engine out. Usually gets changed when you change the clutch !
