Oh No! Rear Main Seal 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be RussB on  Sat Dec 30 05:46 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Went to do my 3000 mile oil change yesterday and found the undercarrige coated with oil! It's dripping out the hole between the transaxle and engine block. It must have been catastophic seal failure because I checked the oil level the day before and the crankcase was full. It was 1 qt low.

Well, I'm going to replace the seal myself, and have a few questions. Should I replace the bolts which attach the torque converter to the flywheel, as per Volvo's recommendation? Also the steering gear nuts? Sub-frame bolts? I'm going to get new axle nuts (20m/m that are swaged into a keyway) and a seal. Sure is a lot of work for a $22 and change part. Any advice by the pros would be greatly appreciated.
