Q: Rear main seal.

How many other people had there's goe at and/or leak? Mines leaking, AGAIN! I replaced it when I replaced the clutch (about a year ago) and it's already leaking and the throw out bearings making noise, AGAIN! Less than 10K miles on all that.

If they aren't installed right, they will start leaking early.

Did you just tap it in with a hammer?

Uh, I had a shop do mine, but I guess since they SUCK, I'll be redoing it myself this time. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
