Reply to "4072 has a Rear Gasket Leak not a ZF leak"

I have replaced my rear main seal with the engine and gearbox still in the car. You will need to remove the chassis brace beneath the engine sump, hopefully yours is not welded in place. Mine had the rubber main seal, not sure how easy the original rope seal will come out. Also check if you going to use the rubber seal, that the locating pin in the main cap that holds the rope seal in place, is removed. A good time to put on an extended sump if you have the original. The sump seals I found the difficult part, keeping them in place. Even after 'sticking' them in place, it is difficult to see if the front and rear has not slipped.
