A rear main seal leak is one of the most serious oil leak issues any Land Rover owner can face. When this seal fails, oil leaks out from the back of the engine where the crankshaft exits the block — leading to rapid oil loss and risking severe engine damage. At Land Rover Garage Dubai, we specialize in precise and efficient Land Rover rear main seal leak repair services to restore engine integrity and keep your Land Rover running safely. Whether your vehicle is manual or automatic, our certified technicians provide expert repairs backed by warranty.
The rear main seal plays a critical role in sealing the crankshaft and keeping engine oil inside the motor. It prevents oil from leaking where the crankshaft connects to the transmission. Over time, several factors may cause this seal to wear out:
Natural aging and hardening of the seal
Excessive heat and pressure
Engine vibrations and crankshaft movement
Poor maintenance or contaminated oil
Once damaged, the rear main seal allows oil to escape, which can result in major engine oil leaks. At Land Rover Garage Dubai, we address this issue with advanced tools and expert workmanship.
Detecting a rear main seal leak early can help avoid costly engine repairs. Watch for these symptoms:
Oil dripping near the rear of the engine or transmission bell housing
Sudden or continuous low engine oil levels
Clutch slipping issues (for manual Land Rovers)
Visible oil spots where the Land Rover is parked
Burning oil smell while driving
If you notice these signs, don’t wait. Bring your Land Rover to Land Rover Garage Dubai for a thorough inspection and repair.
