Rear Main Seal - Northern Virginia
I have a Suzuka Blue 2005 with about 47,000 miles on it and I noticed a small pool of fluid (oil and transmission?) under the car a few days ago. The location of the fluid is very close to the area where a rear main seal leak would occur. The bummer is that rear main seal was replace at 30,000 miles in September 2008 by my local Honda dealer. If it is the rear main seal, I am sure the Dealer will not fix it for free so I want to go to an aftermarket shop considering the seal only lasted 17,000 miles . The car is in garaged in Northern Virginia. Anybody have a recommendation for a good shop to investigate the issue and replace it if it is the rear main seal?
