Hey guys,
I'm leaking out the middle, either it's the main oil seal or out of my plug. Is there an easy way to definitely tell which one?

thanks

 Welcome If it's coming from in between the engine and trans the motor has to come out to check. if in doubt replace the seal and at the same time clean up the area around the cam plug(just below the seal) and smear some permatex ultra-gray around the plug and let it dry. there is no pressure as the oil at this area runs back into the case. good luck...vwbr Smoker

Only 1, and I was deathly ill.  Where I lived in Cali, their shows sold out instantly.  The only way I ever got tickets was via a friend who worked for TicketMaster.

The main seal almost always leaks a little.  Do you have a beefy breaker bar, 36mm impact socket and 250+ftlb torque wrench?  I busted a couple of breaker bars the first time I tried to pop the gland nut.
