About a week ago I saw that my car was leaking oil pretty fast so I got under and looked and seen it was coming from the rear main seal. I pulled the pan ( a lot of work on a 4x4 durango ) and replaced the seal.
When I started the car afterward it is running a little rough so I take it out for a test run. The good news is that there is no more oil lead, the bad news is that if I push the throttle down hard it will surge a few times and try to stall. It was running good before I replaced the oil seal. I have spent a day and a half trying to find the problem, but I am stumped. Is this sort of thing common on the older Durangos? I have had this car for just over a year and have had no problems until now ( I don't count the oil leak as a real problem because a used car with that much mileage will have some small problems ).
