[QUOTE="dvng, post: 407770, member: 196"] Most of the time, the seals for this these two items will leak simultaneously. Once you have changed whether the flywheel or the oil sump the oil pressure in the engine will increase hence leak will appear again in a different area. Believe me, i have paid twice for labour because i thought the same as you. Change one first then the other one later. The labour cost is then double whereas it only cost you once if do both at the same time. If you change the oil sump gasket they will have to lift the engine in other to remove the oil sump. Once the engine is detach from the gearbox thats where the flywheel oil seal is. So if you change both, it will save you on the labour cost. Don't be penny wise pound foolish. The gasket and seal is damn cheap compared to the labour cost. [/QUOTE]
