I have had an oil leak for awhile now, I originally thought it was my turbo return line cause it had a kink in it and was leaking. I fixed that and am still having a leak. Its pretty bad now. Almost 4 quarts in 3k miles.

I'm pretty sure it the front main seal.

Does any one know if I need any special tools for that. I have a pully puller for the pullies. Is there anything else though.

 

ummm, nevermind. and it wont let me delete so here we are....

 

ok

 

No special tool needed for the front seal. You can hook the edge of it with a small screwdriver or something to get it started.

 

so it is just like a rear main seal? thats what i was starting to think, you just tap the new one back into place around the crank. so its like a wheel bearing dust seal. its one of those things that if youre lucky it will take a half hour to do the actual seal part, but could end up taking 3 hours if its a bish to get out, like a pilot bushing

 

Awesome, thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure before I started to do the project cause I'm going to be doing the work in my parents garage cause I live in an apartment complex, so I didn't want to get it apart and find out I need something else.

 

Now, I took everything apart and found out its not my seal that is leaking. The actual crank pulley has a crack right near the keyway slot. So if anyone happens to have one laying around hit me up and I will be willing to take it off your hands.

 

I just replaced my stock crank pulley with a light weight one. Its off a 06 - tho i dont think it matters. Let me know if u need it.

 

Thanks for the reply, but I'm looking for something a little more local first.
