I just finished three days of pulling a very oily engine from 19444 in order to replace the rope rear main seal. I tried everything I could think of to not pull the engine out but to no avail. To date the back patio / car/ engine / dog / myself have been pressure washed four times ,but everything points toward an eventual repair/reinstall after it quits raining. My question is this.
Are you running a mk1 engine in a late car? The mk2 and later engines have a proper oil seal. It is not too difficult to replace, but a shop press will come in handy.
