![]() The car was dry under there before I took it to Riverside Acura in Little Rock, AR. I don't know what caused the leak, but it didn't start slowly. I, too, never expected the rear main to leak. Waiting for parts to arrive, but I had to go to work Mondy afternoon. By Monday morning, I had the transmission on the floor and the rear main seal in my hand. I had to clear out some room in the shop and get my engine hoist from my buddy so I didn't get started good until Friday. I asked him to bring my car around because I'm taking it home. ![]() The service advisor noticed his loaner sitting in the drive and didn't know I had come in. Yep, I'm doing it myself and Delray Acura () doesn't list fluids and such. I asked for some HondaBond HT sealant and three bottles of PS fluid. SO, I showed up at the dealership arund 9am and went straight to the parts counter. I told him I'd let him know first thing in the morning. Not sure where he got his education, but that makes for a REALLY expensive seal. He said normally it is a ~$1500 job, BUT since I have had nothing but problems with my first visit to their dealership, they would lower their labor rate to $23/hr. He said that the rear main seal is leaking, but it was not from anything they had done. I got a call later that evening from the advisor I had been dealing with. He told me to bring the car in and they would take a look at it. So I was convinced to call the service manager at Riverside Acura in Little Rock, AR. So I broke out the jack and stands and removed the plastic under the engine. ![]() When I got home from work that night, I smelled oil burning again. I finished the clean up and drove the car to work. They replaced the reservoir and (half-ass) cleaned up the mess. I took the car back to them after they left the PS reservoir loose and it lodged itself against the pulleys and developed a large hole emptying the fluid all over the right side of my engine. So my rear main seal mysteriously started pouring oil out after a simple trip to the dealer to have the PS hose recall done.
