Engine Seal replacement time?
Engine Seal replacement time?
Looks like I'm gonna need to replace my front engine seals as I'm getting a good leak on the front engine after the car is warmed up. The top of the alternator gets oil soaked, the plastic timing belt cover, top of the oil filter, and some oil in the first spark plug hole. I get about 2 half dollar sized puddles under the car evertime I come back from a drive. I've already replaced the crankshaft seal last time I did the timing belt as I thought that was where the oil leak was coming from, should of replaced all the seals last time. Is the aux shaft pulley the same seal as the intake and exhaust cam seal?
Re: Engine Seal replacement time?
yes, the aux shaft seal is the same as the cam seals. It's very easy to damage the crank seal when installing it, I'd look closely at that one too
Re: Engine Seal replacement time?
Well I ordered another timing belt, my 3rd since owning this car and needed one more seal for the aux shaft since I only found two in my parts stash, which will be for the cams. I then realized after placing my order that maybe the leak is also coming from the seal housing gaskets for the crank and aux shaft. Could that be a possibility?

Are these head gaskets known for leaking oil at there edges? Still trying to make sure its just the front seals leaking not a head gasket issue.
