Oil leaking from crankshaft pulley

Post by 2011z4 »

So I noticed today there was a small drip at the bottom of the pulley, and when I started the car, it sprayed all over the pavement (minor spray). Does anyone have a step by step on how to change this seal out? Is it easy? Parts needed?

Thanks
Jack

it is all in the workshop manual (see useful links).

But before you dive in, just make sure that the oil is not running out of the timing case or somewhere similar and thence onto the front pulley. Leaks in the front timing case are very common.
