Hi,new here. Just bought this beast of a car and looks like inherited this leek! Any mechanics on here carried out this seal repair before? My mechanics asking ,in case there is a slight groove on the crank聽

Shaft end,does anyone make an oil seal at a different depth (repair seal,if such a thing) so as not to seal at the grooved point ?? Look forward to your replies 馃槉

Hello Tom,

I would have thought the leak would be very severe if the seal had worn a significant groove聽in the shaft. I can see where you are coming from regarding a wider/thicker seal, but generally these seals deteriorate and become far less efficient sealers due to the seal hardening. Providing the crankshaft front bearing聽is not excessively worn - causing the crank to rotate out of true, or indeed have thrust bearing wear which can result in the shaft moving forward and backwards,聽聽a new seal should accommodate a small amount of possible rotational wear where the original seal lip sat. Well worthwhile ensuring you buy a聽good quality replacement seal - even from a main dealer, since the on cost over labour charges would be small.聽

Kind regards,

Gareth.

p.s. Perhaps the car came from Wales if it 聽came with a leek!聽

Hi, and thanks for the reply, sorry taken me so long to reply. Only just got her all back together this weekend, replaced idler/tensioner/waterpump/suspension compressor/all 8x suspensionarms /serpentine belt and the main reason, the crankshaft seal.聽 My mechanic has been great. I still seem to have a leek , (not a Welsh one tho馃馃槀).

It does look to be coming from the same area !!!

He tapped the new seel in using a large socket on the back of the old seel. It did look seated well. Any 馃挕 ideas?聽
