Well, after days and days of taken the oil pan off/on, thinkin it was that, that was leakin the whole time. It has come to my attention that it wasnt that, so I did it basically for nothing, but was glad anyway just in case.
Its leaking right behind the pulley, and didnt notice it til yesterday. I was like shit.....so I was just wondering if there is a "how to" or a tech article on that and if its been made. Sorry.
Just want to know how long it'll take & whats necessary to do such a task.
Thanks.

theres no how to
step1: remove transmission
step2: remove pressure plate / clutch / flywheel / backing plate
step3: pry out rear main seal
step4: install new rear main seal
step5: put everything back
might as well get a new clutch while you're at it

Looks like this faggot has never changed his rear main seal...or has he? :ghey:
There is a link out there in la la land with the repair manual. If I had the link handy I would give it to you rather than telling you how not to change it like this clown ^. BTW, if its behind the crank pully, its your front main seal. GL dude.

If it is the rear one, do as suggested above. If it is the front one (behind the pulley):
remove belts from crank pulley
put transmission in gear and engage e-brake
use impact wrench to remove bolt from pulley
use pulley puller (rent from autozone) to remove pulley
remove leaky seal and coat new seal and install
reinstall the pulley back to fsm spec with torque wrench
reinstall belts.

its really not my cut of tea to do while the engine is in the car.
but you will have to remove your lower casting.
which is a pain in the ass, but ive done it with the crossmember in and all.
