    Rear main seal - leaks again.

    I recently replaced my rear main and was drip free for a few weeks.....

    Now I'm trying to figure out how to do this again without doing it a third time.

    I'd like to have the seal put in by somebody that knows what they are doing, but don't necessarily want to pay labor to have the transmission pulled.

    I've read that their is a special tool to install the seal that is much better then a block of wood? Know where I could borrow this and DIY it again.

    Or somebody that for a reasonable price would come out to my house and put in the seal after I get the transmission out?

    Or should I just pay to have the whole job done? What shop? Ballpark of what I'd pay?

    I'm in Midlothian - S of Dallas.

      are you sure its the rear main seal? It is very common for the oil pan to leak where it goes across the rear main. I would suggest cleaning it very well with brake cleaner, then adding some dye to the oil then checking again.
