oil out of flywheel bolts...

[jakeb]

I just got an s52 to replace my m50 and I was mounting it up to an engine stand and took off the flex plate(from auto) and oil poured out of the lowest bolt hole. After I cleaned up about a gallon of oil off my new garage floor I was wondering if this is a problem....

Also it was hanging from a engine puller, so the back of the engine was the lowest...

So is this a problem? Or is there a way that oil can get to that area?

It's not a problem, the flywheel bolt holes go right through.

make sure to use loctite when you put the bolts back on

tisk tisk, should have drained it first. J/k no matter how careful I am I always end up with engine fluids all over the floor.
