I pulled the trans out of my 87 325e to replace the exploded clutch (see http://www.porcubimmer.com/blog for the carnage).
I was going to pull off the flywheel (I want to replace the dual mass with a single mass and convert to earlier eta clutch), but discovered my impact wrench was not powerful enough to get all of the bolts out.
I was only able to get one bolt out, but as soon as I did, oil (at least I think it's oil) started gushing out of the hole. WTF? I'm not super familiar with these cars, and I don't think there is supposed to be any oil running through the crank!
Any ideas? I stuck the bolt right back in as soon as it started leaking.
