Has anyone ever replaced the front crankshaft seal behind the pulley? I believe this is where the leak is coming from, I cleaned the motor and from the best I can tell that is the problem. I get a lovely burning oil smell if I drive it and a small amount of oil gets splattered on the inside of the hood from the pulley slinging it.
Can I use the same bolt on the pulley or do I need to get a new torque to yield one? I will most likely replace the gasket on the oil pan as well.
Does anyone in the DFW area know of a place that will inspect the problem for free, preferably a company chain of some sort, i.e. City Garage, etc. I need to get this fixed asap, my sister in law is buying the truck I have been driving so I need to get the car running again.
Thanks in advance, will check back later today.
