ok so turbo monte has a little oil leak, seems to only leak after being driven and boosted on and once it sits it stops leaking. when under boost a little oil hits the crank pulley and it slings oil everywhere on that side on the engine. sound like a crank seal leaking to you guys or something else? also can the crank seal be replaced with the front cover on the car or no?

thanks guys

 

Did you disable the PCV system for the turbo?

 

i replaced my crank seal yesterday when i replaced my Crank position sensor, you just have to remove your harmonic balancer :p

 

yes i did, i am using a oil catch can

 

awesome to know, any tricks on how to get the seal out?

 

here's a pic of what it looks like >>> https://montecarloforum.com/forum/en...or-help-35915/

i used a crank seal puller, looks like a screwdriver with two hook like things on the end, mine came out pretty easy. then i installed the new one with a big socket same size as the seal and gently tapped it in

 

yea i know what it is lol i just wasnt sure how to get it out the the cover and then back in lol. thanks man i think im gonna go pull the balancer and make sure thats where the leak is... once i get the leak fixed then i will be posting pics of my new hood!

 

make sure and get those 1/4"x 3" bolts for the puller!

 

I know lol. I had all of that from when i rebuilt the engine twice lol. I just never replaced the seal cause I was told there reusable and don't go bad lol. I can't see anywhere else its leaking from and the inside of the seal was wet so I'm hopeing that's the problem. Everything was soaked from it slinging everywhere but I'm thinking if it was the oil pan it wouldn't be getting on the crank pulley to sling it would just drip into the cradle. I got my fingers crossed lol. New seal will be here tomorrow so we shall see. I'm also using a GM seal instead of a national seal.

 

goodluck man
