oil leak from bellhousing 348 where it come from? thanks to reply i m new in your world .
Fluid is leaking from every seam, joint, and inspection plate on the entire bellhousing? Maybe a picture would help? Is it gear oil? Hydraulic fluid? flywheel grease?
Denis If you can check your fluid levels. Transaxle, brake fluid resvoir. Is one low on fluid? Have you been checking them on a regular basis? This can help you determine what is leaking. A man much wiser than me taught me how to use a small amount of water on a leak to distinguish brake fluid from oil or gear oil. Brake fluid will dissolve quickly when sprayed lightly with water. Oil gear oil will not. The area of your leak is Very common on your car. It can be a few things. Gear oil by the tripple seals from the gear box. Possibly mixed with klubber grease from the flywheel, or brake fluid leaking from the Clutch release bearing or flange. Diagnosis is everything. I would highly suggest you use parts from Daniel at Ricambi. He has the best parts (Hill Engineering) for fluid leaks on your car.
If it's oil, then the seals in the throw out bearing are probably shot. That's my best guess. Run a search of the archives for the how-to on the seal replacement.
So if it is leaking brake fluid then the throw out bearing needs to be replaced? Just asking because mine is also leaking a few drops under the inspection plate I noticed yesterday Is it wise to drive??
In my opinion no. You can replace the seal in the throw out bearing to fix the leak. The throw out bearing would need to be replaced if the casting blows out. If yours isn't blown then no need to replace it.
ho thanks, for all the answers, i check today, and the oil pass throw the plate..... and i put a little bit oil on my top finger ,and it came down fast..... i put a white paper under it and the oil look, light green. amasing thanks to every body for answers and if its fuild brake what i have do, take of the bell housing all the problems come from the inside it is a big job? tallzim....
