Yes the engine needs to be dropped.Also check your engine breathers if they are blocked you get excessive crank case pressure causing seal to leak Regards Mick

I have 1993 l i need a oil seal for the front crank shaft?
You didnt mention what kind of car you have, so being very general, you need to know what size engine you have, as well as any options the car has, i.e. A/C, heavy duty cooling, etc. To replace it, you have to remove the crankshaft pulley. It's usually the largest pulley on the bottom of the engine. Get a seal puller because you definitely dont want to knick or dig into the metal around the seal, as you will cause a leak. You need also a seal installer in install it, because it has to go in perfectly straight or it will leak, and all the work was for nothing. Good luck.I have 1993 l i need a oil seal for the front crank shaft?
Hey, I just looked on ebay, and theres almost 3 pages of parts for Festiva's. There are a few complete engine gasket sets for the 1.3. Check it out. Report Abuse

You will need to get a measurment and order one to fit. Oil seals are made in so many sizes and its doubtful that you will be able to find the specs. Easier to measure than to search.

Rear main seal and oil pan gasket replaced, still leaking oil.?
Any ideas why?Rear main seal and oil pan gasket replaced, still leaking oil.?
Put leak detector dye in to engine oil,depends on how bad it leaks,run for a while then see with a UV light to know before take it apart.If leaks at rear main seal,when changing it,should remove the rear main bearing cap also,put silicon where the mating surface,also at corners of oil pan to main bearing caps.Rear main seal and oil pan gasket replaced, still leaking oil.?
Where is it leaking oil? Get some engine degreaser and spray it on while engine warm, then spray it off with water so you can see exactly where its coming from, sometimes the leak will not even be close to where the oil drips, it can travel from one side of the engine to the other, was the transmission removed to replace the rear main seal? Was sealant applied to the corners of the oil pan gasket when installed? If it is the rear main the oil should dripping from the transmission housing. I have seen a sensor on the side of the engine leak and travel down the side of the engine along the lip of the oil pan and look like it was coming from there, so clean your engine well, drive it a few miles then look closely with a flashlight all over the engine.
Engine size would be a BIG help dude. It could be a number of places unfortunatly for you. Valve covers is usualy a good place to start. If it is a V-8 it could be out of the back of the intake manifold. There is suposed to be a gasket or gasket material that runs along the back of the block between the lower block and the intake maniflod. The small block Chevy use to be notrious for developing a leak here, some of the 302 Fords too. The seal simply shrinks and get hard with old age and starts to leak. If you have the straight six in it I would look more towards the valve cover or side cover leaking. Look at the PVC hose too, especially if it is ruff running. It would indicate a hose that is broken and then would allow the crankcase oil that is supose to be going back into the engine to get sucked out the hose.
sounds like the seal was,nt put in right. if it was the rubber seal then the lip on the seal should point towards the front of the engine and you need to put a dab of high temperature silicone sealer on both ends of the bearing cap before installing the bearing cap. also if they did,nt oil the seal up before installing it then the first time you crank the engine it will scar the seal and it will start leaking.
Give us a hint?
Make, model and year for starters. Where it seems to be leaking would also help.
The crank shaft seal surface may be grooved, the seal may not be installed flush and perpendicular to the crank, the seal may be defective or damaged during installation, an oil supply plug behind the flywheel may be leaking - what ever the reason, access is needed and a good visual inspection to pin point the exact location of the leak.
either there not in rite or the bolts need re-tightenedmakeup tips

Is sunflower oil a good oil to seal my ends with?
Sunflower is a pretty heavy oil compared to other oils. If you want to seal your ends, I would use a light oil, such as sweet almond, coconut or jojoba oil. I especially recommend jojoba oil because it has the same chemical structure to natural oils that we produce, so you won't leave your hair a greasy mess. It really helps tame hair too. You can get it from any health food store.Is sunflower oil a good oil to seal my ends with?
It wouldnt seal it it would do good for your hair dont get me wrong because sunflower oil is great for hair but if you wanna seal your ends think about gettng a heavy duty greese to put on them but dont put that on all of your hair unless you wash it out because the greese is unbelievable!

Has anybody experienced repairing and sealing an oil leak on a transformer?
What was the reason and how did you fix it?Has anybody experienced repairing and sealing an oil leak on a transformer?
Depending on where the leak is, there are epoxy products can repair pin-hole leaks that occur during welding at the factory.
It may not work if there is too much head pressure in the transformer.
If the leak is near the top, you can pull a partial vacuum on the transformer and then apply the epoxy.
If the oil level is too high above the leak, there may be too much pressure to make a good seal.Has anybody experienced repairing and sealing an oil leak on a transformer?
isnt a transformer an electrical part? im not really sure what ur talking about but i cant imagine why it has oil....
the problem is that oil makes things hard to fix because it doesnt really let anything stick...
best thing to do would be to weld it but u would have to drain all the oil first and clean up the hole real good to remove any oil residue... then weld it...
but if thats not an option theres specialized epoxies that work under these circumstances .. but be warned.. it might hold up for years but its not a permanent fix... welding is a permanent fix... but like i said i dont really know what is going on in this situation im just trying to help you... i hope that helps.
