How long has your 2004 INFINITI I35 had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2004 INFINITI I35. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
The rear main engine oil seal is the seal that keeps the engine oil inside the crankcase at the back of the crankshaft. This seal, when failing, will allow oil to the outs of the back of the engine. The oil will typically leak between the engine and transmission mating area, as that is where the crankshaft exits the engine and the transmission bolts up.
A good visual inspection, along with a test that uses dye in the oil to locate the source of a leak will be needed.
