Thank you Karl. I know exactly which little seal you’re talking about. I’ve got about 30k left on this timing belt so I’m basically “learning” the process by doing this crankshaft seal because it’s leaking a nice little stream. There’s no oil above the seal except where a little has been slung by the timing belt. So I’m almost positive it’s not from that seal.
When the time comes to do the timing belt, I’ll go back in and replace everything possible in there. This is my daily and I’ve got to fix this leak first. I love working on my car so doing the process again down the road doesn’t concern me too much.
