I have never had my M apart yet, so I hope someone can tell me what I am going to need before I take it apart. I have oil weeping out the top of my bell housing were it mates to the engine. There is none coming out the bottom were you would expect a rear main to leak, only the top. Has anyone ever experienced this before?
Thanks

My 420, which is similar to your M, had a leak on the valve cover that used to run down the back of the block and drip off the clutch cover...just like a rear main seal leak would appear. Suggest you check valve cover, external oil feed pipe, and even look at the back of the head gasket. You might also check that the clutch cover "dimples" aren't plugged with debris, forcing oil to fly around inside the housing and leak wherever it can.

have you checked where the oil gauge connects to the block, sometimes it leaks there and looks like it is leaking from the bell housing there is alos a bypass line that goes to the head from the back of the engine that might be leaking. just a thought hope it helps
