There are no codes being thrown, and no indication of any problems from my instrument panels. I checked the oil level and it is fine and seems clear. But the stuff dripping to the cement is very thick black lube. Anyone have any ideas where this is coming from?
Looks like the rear crankshaft seal is leaking. I suggest you do both the front and rear crankshaft seals at the same time, as they are likely to fail at about the same time.
