Where would oil be leaking from at the transfer box end of engine after over filling the engine with oil? The transfer box is not leaking.

May not be an oil leak. Some may have spilled during oil change and wasn't cleaned up properly causing the spillage to seep making you think there is a leak. Clean what you can see with a cleaner and monitor for further leakage

Oil leakage on Mercedes Benz 5.0L engines

oil in the bell housing can be rear main seal and it can also be input shaft seal in the gear box if manual. The sump bolts on the rear main cap and will leak next to the bell housing indicating a main seal . If auto then the seal on the converter will leak and the oil will leak out of the bell housing. If you are convinced that it is a main seal then check that there is no crankcase pressure issues to make it leak. Change the engine oil and clean the area and if the oils is clean then that will indicate engine or gear box. Put a white chalk line across any oil paths and watch for it to cross the chalk and change the chalk colour.

Oil leakage by the transmission &engine

Need to inspect closer and make sure the exact place the oil is coming from....Most common places that leak are around valve pan cover which is located on top of motor and in alot of cases can run down back of motor onto transmission or bottom or motor. Another place is the oil pan which is located on bottom of motor. If leaking from either of these you would need to replace the gaskets. Two other places that are common for leaks is the front and rear seals in the motor. Try cleaning bottom half of motor off with a degreaser in the area where you see yhe oil dripping and then you should be able to see exactly where it is coming from. If the leak is underneath where the transmission is bolted to the motor this would indicate that the rear seal is bad. To replace it you will have to take transmission out to do this and if this is the case and your truck has a automatic transmission have that seal replaced also. Yhe reason for this is if you have to take transmission out then you may as well change transmission seal also but remember only if the transmission is a automatic.....hope this helps and good luck....Please rate this post...

95 isuzu rodeo is losing oil. No leaks and no blue smoke out tailpipe. Any ideas?

look for traces of oil in coolant, usually milky substance. Pull plugs and see if traces of oil or coolant are on plugs. Then do a cylinder leakage test to locate the vacuum leak.

My 1999 Ford Expedition XLT started loosing coolant and the engine started heating up. I have replaced the thermostat, but it made no difference. There are no signs of a leakage, and no puddle are found...

check the motor oil to see if the level is higher on the dip stick, also remove the oil filler cap and look at the side that goes into the engine, see if the cap is clean or has a light brown milkshake look to it.
if you find the milkshake under the cap or the motor oil is much higher than normal the coolant is leaking inside the crankcase. continued driving will ruin the crank bearings.
if you find what I described, have your vehicle towed to your shop, stop driving it.

My honda accord has an engine leakage

You can picck up a scan tool at most auto parts store these days. Keep in mind the scan tool will not detect leaks or thier location and is for electrical and sensor diagnostics only. For the oil leak problemi t will take some visual effort to locate the source. Possible leakage points are front crank seal,valve cover seal, pan seal and rear main seal If it is a cosistant leak, you can park it with the engine runing and let the drips fink on themselves as to where yhey are coming from. If it is dripping in several areas the chances are it is collecting then dripping. It would help to have the engine cleaned of any excess exterior oil. It will help detect new oil from the leakag. A faulty pcv valve will also cause leaks. Change it first and see if that helps. If a pcv valve doesn't work right it allows pressure to build up inside the engine and forces oil through any weak seals or gaskets. Good Luck

Oil leakage and hissing sound from nubira 2000

It is quite possible you have a leaking head gasket or intake manifold gasket... allowing both an oil leak and a pressure leak from the cooling system. The alternative may even be as severe as a cracked block. Get it checked before you drive too much farther!!
