Crank seal

Ive tryed looking on OC for a how to guide but cant find anything? I need to replace my crank seal as i noiced its leaking past the pully running down the sump, when i pulled the car out of the garage yesterday It always develops a fault when its hybernating over winter

So is there a how to guide anywhere as i dont want to knacker the pully etc.

Run the car up properly first, if its just weeping and your not loosing loads of oil leave it alone

Why is that Dan, could it be because its been sat over winter & seal just needs to soften up abit to seal properly?

Yep, I have had a few gtir and one of them had been laid up for years, it smoked was down on power etc etc, after a few hundred miles of use it sorted it self out....just needed a proper good heat up and good oil

Ok cheers mate, ill try that & run it up to temp when its back from bodyshop
