[Suba_GL_87]

my friend came over my house for help to repair rear main crankshaft seal...

we did installed by 1/18th inch deep of the rear seal.

so, there no leaky. even i was repair new oil pan gasket.

 

it's 1994 EJ22 automatic....

but i dont understand why the exhaust have a oil drip and turn white smoke...smell like burn oil from exhaust muffler after i was put the transmission.

 

it's oil pump failure?

Really not sure what you posted or asked. So I will take a stab at it.

you did a lot better than i did, congrats.

 

there is an oil separator plate on the rear of the engine block behind the flex plate / fly wheel that is a known leak point and right next to the rear main seal. you have to pull the engine to see / replace it.

My gentleman friend called upon me at my place of abode in the hopes of repairing a leak to his rear main seal on the crankshaft of his primary mode of conveyance.

 

What I lack in good communication I make up for in mechanical background, this request for help not withstanding. The rear main seal was showing no signs of leaking and the oil pan gasket was replaced recently. 1/18th inch deep is a conundrum that leaves ladies that call for my "professional" skills unhappy and unfufulled when they leave.

 

The vehicle in question is one 1994 Subaru with a horizontally opposed engine comprising of four cylinders and a total swept volume of 2212cc's, connected to an automatic type four speed transmission.

 

As immense as my skills at mechanical deduction are, the source of this mysterious leak eludes my vast knowledge of the aformentioned Subaru. I'm both literally and figuratively stumped as to why this vehicle that appears to be in good working order has an oil leak, so vilely and without concern for my previously mentioned male caller, dripping on the exhaust of same car, creating an acrid white smoke that is doing nothing for this poor chaps ability to pick up, in the local parlance "the honeys".

 

I have previously worked on this vehicle, physically shoving myself into the transmission to acertain the fault previously, but have been unable to replicate any results as my corporial being is substantially less viscous then the transmission fluid reccomended by Subaru engineers in Gunma Japan

 

Perhaps it is something else that I have overlooked, verily the oil pump indeed could be the culprit?

 

 

 

In all seriousness, I think if you replaced the transmission it could be a loose line or broken hose.

 

There is also a separator plate on the back of the engine that frequently leaks, but if you've looked at the rear main and didn't see any oil it probably is not the problem.

head block's exhaust there have a dripping by the oil and burn out.
