99 Prelude Rear Main Seal
 

I have a 99 Prelude and am curious to know what is the best way to tell if my Rear Main Seal is leaking? And if it is, what am I getting myself into for changing it? Any help is greatly appreciated..... :confused:

best way to tell is remove the flywheel access plate on the bottom of the clutch housing...it is secured by three 10mm bolts.
inside there u will be able to see the back of the flywheel, follow the lowest edge directly up towards the center of the flywheel, if the rear main seal is leaking it will be evident where the block meets the oil pan directly in the center, there is a round depression protruding down at that end of the oil pan which is the bottom of the rear main seal/cover.

it is very unlikely that this seal will be leaking...what makes you think this may be a problem...generally speaking the oil pan seal will go way before any main seal leaks.
