Identifying undercarriage part

I have a 1995 Mazda B3000 4WD, and I am trying to identify the assembly directly to the rear of the oil pan. My books aren't being very helpful.
I have some idea, but I want to be sure.

Anonymous May 04, 2010

It looks to be part of the transmission, but I'm not used to such being located in this position. The part in question is butted up against the oil pan, just right of center underneath the cab. It blew out fluid which looks like either transmission fluid or DOT3.

Oil leak on driveway coming from front of engine

Dear Sir,
Here is the oil leaking Problem Identifying Technique

Engine oil leaks from the valve cover gasket are common.

The intake manifold plenum gasket may leak and cause increased oil consumption/burning and a spark knock during acceleration; the gasket should be replaced.

External oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, intake gaskets (front or rear), and the rear crankshaft (rear main) seal area are common. The rear main seal is an unlikely source. Normally, the bearing cap mating surfaces (as well as the sealing surface between the oil pan and bearing cap) are the source for the leaks.

Engine oil leaks at the distributor can be misdiagnosed as leaks from theintake manifold seal, oil pan gasket, or rear crankshaft (rear main) seal. A revised distributor is available if oil is found inside the distributor.

If the oil filter casing shows signs of distortion from excessive oil pressure, theoil pump should be replaced.

Often misdiagnosed as a leaking oil filter gasket, the oil filter adapter can seep from between the adapter and engine block.

Carbon buildup on the top of the piston is common. As the buildup increases with mileage and over time, symptoms may vary from light ticking, to ticking/hammering, to hammering/knocking noises. Fuel injector cleaner often solves the problem.

1999 GMC Sierra V6 reverse lights not working. Both light not coming on. Tested bulbs, they work tested fuse it is good. What could be the problem?

Likely the reverse switch. This is either on the shifter assembly but more likely it is screwed into the transmission. An easy swap after correctly identifying the switch. You may lose some transmission oil so put a pan down.

My 95 Honda prelude is leaking oil bad, it's leaking from the part directly behind the oil pan. What is that part called?

It's usually the rear main oil seal that's located immediately behind the oil pan on an engine. They do eventually leak and need replacing. Have it checked out.

I have an 1995 Volvo 850 and believe there is engine oil leaking between the engine and transmission. What would be my best course of action

It sounds like the rear oil seal on the oil base pan is leaking......You have to remove the base pan and replace the front and rear oil seal.They just sit in the grouve of the oil pan.You can also try retorqueing the bolts first to see if they came loose over time. Hope this helps.
