Small oil leak, worth checking?
Since I have my gearbox off at the moment and the clutch is due for replacement I have the options to trace down a small oil leak from the rear of the engine (so either rear main seal or the IMS bearing carrier seal). The transmission bellhousing was full of sticky black stuff, but this is in general dust from the clutch. Probably held togethet by a bit of oil. No big traces of oil or dripping.
So since I have the stuff off, it isn't that much work to remove the flywheel and inspect / fix. On the other hand I only intend to run the engine for another year (say 5k km), so I feel it might not be worth the time and expense. If I planned to run the engine longer this question wouldn't exist.
So is it worth it you think? Any big risk in such a small oil leak?
