What causes this to happen when I do not have an EHM. |

All seals will wear out and leak eventually. The question is: Are you sure its the rear main seal and not something else leaking? Its much more common for the turbo oil drain tube to be leaking. |

Well, I haven't seen it myself. The dealer is replacing the TC under recall and spotted this. Quoted an up-charge of $235 since the trans is already out. I do know the tech that is working on it is pretty sharp, so I have a little confidence that this problem exists.  I'm wondering if there is another reason other than some just fail. OK, I will pose this question. If the CCV puck was plugged would this possibly be a cause? I don't think it has ever been changed. |

It may not be the CCV puck itself. It could be in the hose that leads to the turbo-intake hose. How many miles are on your engine? If I already had the transmission out, I would change the rear main too. I suspect my rear main is leaking too, but its not bad enough for me to go through the trouble of dropping the tranny. |
