Oil leak from between oil seal retainer and bearing housing
Hi! Irwin 27, new to us ‘67 A4, fitting it in on new stringers and engine mounts.
After our first test fit, with the aft of the engine lower, we noticed an oil leak out of the bottom of the back of the engine- where the oil seal retainer articulates to the bearing housing oil pan and oil pan. The transmission on this A4 came from a different engine, something went wrong with the original when the guy who sold it to us was testing it.
I’m wondering if I have to replace the oil seal or if it is possible just to replace the bearing housing gasket. It also looks like it may be coming from the lowest of the bolts holding the oil seal retainer in place. Ideas?
