AHHHHHH!! On a trip to Houston from San Antonio last weekend I was following a Rig and looked down and noticed I was going 85 MPH. I know this put soo much pressure in the case I blew a seal. The motor is still running off of a 1984 rebuild so its pretty old and there is oil all underneath from front of motor to back. My question is which seal blew?
I am experienced with uprights but not pancakes. My guess is the flywheel seal. Maybe the oil cooler seals? Either way I am sure the motor is coming out.

Thanks

Before dropping the engine, clean off the bottom thoroughly and go for a short drive. Put some cardboard down overnight to see where the oil leaks are coming from.
