Oil leak turbo2

Hi. I'm back with problems again:rubor:. My car started leaking oil between gear box and rear iron. Yesterday I changed the rear oíl seal but it continues to leak oil. Could the stationary o-ring be broken?thanks in advance

Most likely the o-ring. I usually replace both the oil seal and o-ring as a set.

It's a pretty straight forward job. Remove the 6 bolts and pull it out. You might need to pry it a little since it's a snug fit. Just don't rotate the engine once it's out. Apply a light coat of oil to the o-ring and seal before installing.

Hi.Today I remove the flywheel. I'm not sure if the leak is in the o-ring. What is your opinion? The oíl seal is new, I changed it 50km ago. Thanks in advance
