crank seal

[brianshepherd]

just found that my crank seal is leaking oil.
can anyone give a run down on how to change this Pleasr

I would recommend getting a garage to do it as the timing belt will have to be removed and refitted

if it is on the cam belt side there is a blanking plug close to the crankshaft that you should check out while fixing the seal. I thought my seal where leaking but was the plug mainly.

I will tell the guy thats doing the work for me to have a look
Thanks

the guy is going to change the blanking plug for me at same time as doing full cambelt change.where can I buy a new blanking plug from?

 

[xztraz]

you don't need a new one just seal and tighten it properly if it's leaking. mine had come undone a little bit and was pissing oil.

This one.
