[DeTomaso] Pandora

Hi,

  Just went through this on my car when the rear section of the cam shor out the back of the block.  The oil came out

around the block plate.  It saved the clutch though.  In your case it sounds like the rear main seal is leaking.  Hope that helps.

Michael

I went under the car and found oil seeping from between the engine and the large, thin metal plate that bolts to the ZF--I think it's called the inspection plate, but I'm not sure. It looks like very clean motor oil, but I suppose it could be clutch fluid.
