oil leak but where? Posted by Bryan [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Hi,
My 1993 9000cs is leaking oil on the garage floor but I don't know where or why. there was oil all over the sump & gearbox so I got some degreaser & cleaned it up. Then ran the motor for a while to see where it gets oily again. While no oil has leaked on to the floor since cleaning it (yet), I got under the car & found a little bit of oil at what to me looks like where the motor meets the bell housing. There's a thin sheet of tin inbetween them & some rubber TAB like things. Can someone tell me what this is called & what the likely cause is (whether it is complicated & expensive to fix).
I have taken some photos of the oily area which can be viewed at:

It is also possible that the oil that I am now seeing (since cleaning the undermotor) is just residual oil (that I missed) & that the original oil that I saw on the floor was from old greased oil that fell to the ground when my washer reservoir started to leak & mixed in with the old oily grease that was already there.
Any assistance would be welcome
thanks
Bryan
