From the factory for Syncros, the bell housing and starter is sealed with silicone. There is also a rubber flap or check valve installed in the bottom between the case and bell housing to let oil drip water out and keep water from entering quickly when going through puddles or streams.

Hi all,

Just a question...

Is it practically correct to seal this area? I mean, if there is a leak eiter from engine or transmission sealing ring, how can it be found? The whole area in there will be filled with oil... In case there is no sealant between engine and transmission, the leak will be found from the very first drops...

All Syncros had silicone sealant between the engine and transmission.

My mechanic has found what looks like silicon sealant on the transmission case from my donor van. Is it normal to use sealant between the engine and the transaxel?
