Good evening gentlemen, Today i decided to track the source of my oil leak from under the left side engine cover. While looking for the leak I noticed more oil under the output shaft then I did the push rod. But I did notice how easy the push rod itself was to move up and down, side to side. I also noticed if I moved it enough I could see a visible gap between the push rod and the seal. The push rod seal is red, which I believe I read on here indicates it has been replaced. I'm curious if the gap I am seeing between the push rod and the seal is normal or not? Could this be the source of my oil leak or could it be my output shaft seal instead, due to the nut not being tight? I grabbed the nut on the output shaft and noticed I was able to wiggle it left and right maybe 1/8 inch, Im guessing thats an issue, needs to be retorqued and that could be where my oil leak is coming from? Picture included.
Thanks!
Thanks!
