Id say you found the problem.
Damn those cheap aftermarket gaskets. You figure they couldn't manage to mess up something made out of rubber, but they always find away. Aftermarket = junk.

Edit: actually i bet you thats one of those cork or paper gaskets they love to use.

HI Guys. I'm brand new to this forum, and this sounds so familiar. I did the dizzy o-ring, fought with the crossmember and did the oil pan gasket, etc., and guess what it was the rear main seal. UGH-. This leak is very hard to diagnose because it travels down the crossmember and other things and it drips from many spots. The giveaway drip is the one thats coming from the little square weephole that is on the bottm of the girdle -like thing that is between the engine and tranny(mine is auto). This is my first time dealing with an engine pull in a front wheel drive car and its a PITA. especially the wiring harness on these cars, they way it is routed thru the intake manifold.
Has anyone done the rear seal before? Any tips? The motor will be out of my car and is getting lots done while its out- water pump, head, front seal, etc.

actually, you should pull the harness out along w/ the engine. 2 bolts where the harness goes into the firewall, and 4 plugs. 3 on the ECU and one on the heater blower. makes it SO much easier.

Yes thats what I did.The motor's on the stand finally- It should be fun figuring how to take the harness off the engine!
