Hi,

New to the forum, her on behalf of an elderly family member who replaced a 2007 Fit with a 2019 Fit sport. Upon inspection for registration the mechanics discovered a leak, they suspect is the rear main seal.

2019 Fit Canadian model, made In Mexico
92,xxxKm
Automatic CVT

Any ideas

Thanks

First thing is always to clean everything off with solvent (e.g. brake cleaner) until it is dry and then run it for a while to see where the leak is coming from. Sometimes you find there isn't actually a leak but oil has come from a spillage when refilling or possibly from when an oil filter is removed etc.
Be absolutely sure there is a leak first.
