Rear main seal

Hello Yota tech,

Is it possible that a slow rear main seal leak can cause a vacuum leak? Thanks

No, you can't get a vacuum leak from the rear main

If your searching for a vacuum leak here’s a link to a homemade smoke tester on youtube. Very cheap to build.

I actually found 3 vacuum leaks after I built one. One of which was a tiny pinhole in a 1/8” vacuum cap
