B234F rear main oil seal leak 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Bud Melaney on  Fri Nov 17 16:53 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Arg, I had all seals on the engine replaced about 3,000 miles ago on about 8/28/00,and now the new rear main is puking oil again. Are there any makers of oil seals for that engine that are of preferred over others?

The shop that did the seal replacements will look at the oil leak(s) on Monday, and if it looks like it is in fact the rear main they will repair for free under a warranty, however, I really don't want a premature failure of the seal again. Mobile 1 10W-30 oil has always been used in this engine with about 90,000 original miles on it.

Any knowledgable input would be appreciated.

Please don't respond with third hand information or generic statements like, did you change the oil every 3,000 miles?; or was there an adequate quantatity oil in this engine? I am a licensed aircraft mechanic and I always baby my machinery.
