    Mitsubishi L200 2003 - Oil leak from front crank oil seal # Archived Message

    Posted by Richard Mackereth on May 27, 2009, 1:03 pm

    This vehicle has been a pain in the arse for the past year with allsorts.

    It came in last week with a bad oil leak from the front crank oil seal, but also the o/s balance shaft doesn't turn freely and had thrown the balance shaft belt off.
    We replaced the seal and left the belt off as the customer didn't want to pay for a full strip down.
    Now it's spewing oil out again.

    Has anyone had owt like this before? Cos the balance shafts are not spinning could this be causing high oil pressure and blowing the seal?

    Any help / comments would be great.

    Cheers Lads
