1985 Chev Celebrity Malfunction - Engine

Question: I have a 2.8liter 3-speed transmission I recently had the flex plate of tranny replaced.After the fix the car started just fine(with a very high idle), but engine oil started leaking badly(from bottom of engine) after warm-up.Plus it did not want to start when it rained. Did the trannsmission place mess up? Is it worth fixxing?

Technican: Hello, Since the tranny has to be moved back from the engine to replace the flex plate (FLYWHEEL), that is the perfect opportunity to replace the rear main seal because access is a given. I would hope you were afforded the chance to approve a new rear main seal. On a vehicle this many years in service, it should have been anticipated/discussed. Did they mess up your old seal? That's a tough call for you and me. Ask why it leaks now and didn't before their work. If your business is important to them they should show some concern. And cut you a deal. Hard starting when raining can be moisture condensing inside the distributor cap. Take a look in there and check the condition of the rotor bug, too. Are the contacts erroding? Is it worth fixing? Only you can assign that kind of worth value. If it's driving your finances crazy and you have another way to go, decide if money spent now is just a patch or a fix.
