hey,
I have a 97 dodge neon, sohc. Auto. Its leaking almost 1 quart a day. It looks like its coming from where the engine and trans meet, which would mean the rear main seal. But i just want to be sure before i take the engine out to change it. Is their anywhere else i should check. The sooner you respondthe better. I need to do this ASAP, or im gonna have to buy stocks in an oil factory. Thank You

 

head gaskets are real bad valve covers

 

i changed the headgasket with a mls only a few months ago, i also changed the valve cover at that time as well

 

if it is leaking from between the tranny and motor, then its deffinately the rear main seal......its a common problem with neons and when you replace it, try and get a teflon gasket

deffinately not a head gasket or valve cover if its comming from the bottom like that

 

yeah its most probably the rear main seal. I just ordered mine yesterday from the auto parts store and it was like 13 bucks I think. I am doing the mtx swap this weekend so my tranny will be off so its a good time for me to do it.

 

i got a teflon, but whats the difference between teflon and rubber

 

the teflon is more durable and holds up to heat alot better
