Hi all, hope all have had a good new year!
Changed my belts last week before a trip down to the coorong. All went well but while I was underneath the front end I noticed some oil around the front of the sump, on closer inspection I found the oil seems to be coming from the front crank seal aaarrggghh!
Was about to go whoopieeee when my cousin mentioned that it may not be that bad, it does not drip and I have left cardboard underneath it after a drive to make sure.
He said that some fully synthetic oils can weep through these seals?! Can anyone in the know shed some light on this as it has got me worrying and although I can replace it in a weekend with my cousin I hate to think how much bourbon I'll need to take round to convince him to help out.
Cheers, potsy.
