Stop Oil Leaks Before They Become Bigger Problems
The rear main seal is one of the most critical seals in your MINI engine. Located between the crankshaft and transmission, a failing rear main seal can allow engine oil to leak into the bellhousing area, creating mess, clutch contamination, and potential engine damage if left unchecked. Rear main seal replacement is commonly performed during clutch service, transmission removal, or complete engine rebuilds.
This rear main seal fits MINI N12, N14, N16, and N18 engines found in R55, R56, R57, R58, R59, R60, and R61 models. Designed to provide OEM-quality sealing, it helps maintain proper oil control and protects your engine from costly leaks. Compatible applications include 2007-2016 Generation 2 MINI Cooper and Cooper S models equipped with N-series engines.
