Hi

Been holding this one off since the new year due to poor weather at weekends for a couple of month, had no excuse today to investigate the bad oil leak which has had the car parked up.

Looks to be coming from the crankshaft pulley.

Has anyone come across this before?

With the engine in this is going to be a bit tricky for clearance but yes looks like crank seal getting something big enough diameter to tap it in should be the only issue after you get the pulley off which i think is a 4 bolt pulley , you changed that before so you know how to get it off.

I'm guessing when the old pulley gave up its mis-balance knackered up the crankshaft seal.

Parts ordered, job for next weekend if they arrive in time.

Just wear and tear at that miles it did well
