Default Re: Oil Leak

It takes a bit of time for the leaking oil to make its way after spilling over the rear cap. The oil first deposits to the front side of the flywheel and then when beyond capacity to hold, drips to the flywheel housing. From there it makes its way to the drain hole where the cotter resides. At that point you will see drips. The off loading from the trailer may not have been enough time.

Something stuffed in the oil filler tube: Yes remove it before driving the car much. Some of us call it the "breather" tube.
Good Day!
