    Crank Shaft oil seal?

    A friend if mine has a problem with his valver. As it says above the crank shaft oil seal was (supposedly) leaking. This has now been changed and it is still leaking. The gearbox end of the crank is where its leaking, any ideas on what else it could be?

    Kind Regards
    Amir

    leaking what?

    are you sure its engine oil?

    and is it defo coming from that seal?? there are other places various fluids can leak from, but end up in that area.

    your pushing it too far back.

    it wants to be sitting flush with the face of the end-plate.
