    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Leaking oil from....? Wtf is this?

On my 550E, I'm leaking oil. Obviously as the title says.
The leak is coming from this free floating rod thats coming out of the trans.
It's roughly 6inches long and goes into the back of my clutch cable assembly( where the spring is) It seems like there is a rubber sleeve inside the hole that has torn. I'm almost sure that's where my leak is coming from.
Can anyone shed light on what this is, any steps i can do to stop the leak, and further prevent. It's caused me to go down once already. Need this issue fixed.
 
sounds like you are referring to the clutch pushrod oil seal. a favourite to leak oil. it can be replaced without stripping the engine
 
Where might I find one? We have a used parts store in town but I don't believe that's something I want to buy used.
Thanks for the input by the way!
 
no problem, just a quick note, make sure you post your questions in the correct forum.
this is the 2 cylinder engine forum.
 
Oh shoot. Didn't even realize . Thanks for the correction also.
