Dear All,
Have a Volvo S60 T4 with DCT gearbox. 3 months ago, my mechanic feedback to me that there's engine oil seeping out from bell housing and engine oil cooler seal in a very slow manner. To confirmed our suspicious, We sealed the oil pan gasket, changed new engine oil cooler seal and new drain plug to test whether that's the final spot of leaking. For 3 months, there's no oil drip on the path way of my car poach, except for one week i didn't drive the car at all, there's a few drops on the ground.
Yesterday we lifted the car up to check for oil leaks and its still coming out from the bell housing which i didn't perform any repair on it. The undercarriage isn't very messy and i didn't need to add engine oil despite there's still leak. I am the 2nd owner of this car, the previous owner changed the rear main seal in about 120k on ODO at Federal Auto Glenmarie and that was about 3 years ago. Car is 6 years old though.
My question is, since its just seeping out from the bell housing, possibly a rear main seal problem again, do i need to worry about it or just wait until it developed into a leak. The costs of performing this rear can be up to 1.8k as i need to buy the seal which cost about 200 bucks, 800 bucks for dismantling, DCT and Engine Oil.
Thanks,
Ken
