The oil is coming from the rear main seal.. There is no decernable reason for it... The crank is not worn(I put a repair sleeve on it anyway), I put the silicone in the corners of the rear cap like the manual says, I even got a Nissan factory silicone seal from Japan. The only other place it could come from is that main oil gallery plug, but on disassembly, that plug was dry... Gotta be the main seal... Just don't know why. If it was a drop or two, I would just drive it and keep topping up, but it's a sizable amount of oil coming out of the bell housing.. And before you suggest it might be the Trans, I've already verified that it's engine oil by using different colored florescent dye in each....

I don't think it's the catch can... It's just attached to the crankcase vent. It used to feed back to the intake manifold but the mist was too oily for my liking, so now it's just venting to air.. I've measured the case pressure while running and the case is not pressurized...

This is mine... It dyno'd out at 145 at the wheels, revs to almost 10,000..., but unfortunately I can't drive it. There's a catastrophic oil leak at the back of the motor that can't be identified. It's been apart 3 times, nothing looks wrong. Only leaks if you drive it, can run for hours in the driveway and doesn't leak a drop. Take it for a spin around the block and when you park it, it drops about a half of a quart on the road... It's just sitting under a cover in my back yard for the past 4 years, I got another block which I'm going to swap all of the parts into. Don't know what else to do 😠

What is the name of that body shop? Do they have a website?

Anyone know where this Rear spoiler comes from? I suspect Japan, but brand or manufacturer?

Would buy that kit in a minute if it was a standard Skyline, without the scoops and vents..... Shame.
