Well its more of a weep.
Anyway, i picked up this 2010 Ford Transit Connect, with the 2.0 gas motor and an auto. Doing an Inspection i noticed some dampness and on tiny drip of oil forming around the area you would associate with a rear main seal leak. right at the bottom lowest point between the motor and tranny.
I cleaned it off with some parts cleaner and went for a 25 mile drive, i noticed a very slight weeping of oil, not a leak or a drop yet. But i would assume after lets say 500 miles it will be a drip for sure
My question is how long do you guys think i can let this do what it does before i have to rip the tranny out and fix this issue? I only need the van for a few months for a job, then ill see it on to the next guy. It leaves no drips or spots on the drive way after 100 miles of driving, there is no evidence of oil that has been blown under the van or anything like that, that would signify a serious leak.
Do you think some snake oil or a HM oil will tackle this?
I did some reading and see its a known issue to have this leak with the Ford focus of the same years, and in the end the Transit connect is a ford focus.
