Picture of Oil crank seal?

SubaruImpreza_power · 02-23-2004, 01:24 PM

This little (insert word here) Is causing me to have to check my oil every other day... From what I heard it's a real cheap part..

My engine only leaks oil when it's running.. it really started as I was coming back from Canada, and stopped at a rest stop in Vermont.. oil leaked on the piping under the car and started smoking really bad.. It does not leak on their much anymore.. But still drips..

its a small inexpesive part, but there is a alot of labor involved in changing it.

its behind the crank gear for the timing belt.

Which end? Front or rear seal? The front is not too bad, the rear is almost doing a clutch since the clutch and flywheel need to be removed to do the seal.

The Front...

lol and why do people allways asume you have a 5MT

The only part that was hard was removing the Crank pully and Timing belt? Are their marks on the Timing pulleys?
