I've noticed an oil spot on my driveway where my '96 850T parks and when I changed the oil today, I saw that the underside of the engine on the passenger side was wet with oil. Hopefully this is not the dreaded rear main seal (which I thought was on the driver side between the tranny and engine). The leak looks like it's coming from under the timing cover..... could this be the front seal(s)?

    That is always possible, but it is probably the O ring in the oil cooler lines where it connects to the oil pump. A little hard to get to but fairly easy to replace.

    The 164 has a new home, all I am left with are a 95 854T and a 98 V70R :)
