Electric vacuum pump to stop oil leak?

[Fast GN]

My rear main is leaking some. And I have been told putting an electric vacuum pump would stop the leak. They are saying it would do away with the crank case pressure. Anybody heard of this?

Thanks,

or fix it with a new seal and add the vacuum pump as insurance.

A Buick not leaking means something is wrong or your not going fast enough.

Really though, if it is the rear main replace it with a good rear main following the procedures you will find on the board or find a good shop in your area to take care of it.

Vacum pump will not resolve the issue.

Depends. Is it a blow-by leak or a bad seal?

I have replaced the seal, it was not in the greatest condition. But it is only had about 5,000 miles on it. I am now working on getting the vacuum pump functional. But getting the motor completely sealed is becoming a challenge. Got the valve covers and dip stick sealed but still have a leak somewhere.
