Do you think the problem could be caused by a too short tube ?


Thanks again


1. Yes the tube being 1.25 inch too short is a likely reason for rear main leak.

2. Then if oil in pan is 1 quart low that makes the OIL level another one inch lower.

3. The bend in end of tube is to clear the oil pan so bend is important.

You not want the tube to break off because the oil pan pushes the drain pipe sideways.

The bend should point forward.
