before anyone flames me i did a search. results showed up but NO SOLUTION.

my engine is leaking oil from the pan gasket area. i changed the pan gasket and still leaking.
i can see a hole when the oil is dripping from. is a seal bad or is the oil pump bad?

yeah if thats on the tranny side of the engines its the rear main seal..... if its on the side where the crank pully is its the crank seal..... and whats that bainging noise?

wicked_gk

i dunno where the banging noise came from. the audio from my cell phone sux. i didnt hear anything close while recording lol.

yea its on the drivers side. i guess i need the rear main seal fixed.

thanks

revhardallday

no driver side would be the crank seal...

wicked_gk

so the crank seal needs changed then? it was leaking right by the crank pully

revhardallday

yep that would be the crank seal.... the timming belt has to come off in order for you to replace it.... it can be kind of expensive .....unless you can do it yourself.

wicked_gk

yea a shop told be about $175 in labor + parts. well at least i know what it is. thanks for the help all

revhardallday

yeah thats not bad of a price. its all labor, the seal is about 7 bucks lol.

Good price for replacement. Could be the cam seal OR the front crank seal...I'd do both- that thing is leaking like a sieve!!
