I have an oil leak that is gradualy getting worse.
Its coming from between the engine and bell housing making me think its the crank seal behind the flywheel?. or at least my mate diagnosed that.
the question is do I just keep toping the oil up or dig deep?
if I tackle the problem its either take the engine outand fix any other leaks too and then of course you might as well do the clutch plates while at it.
the other problem is my long suffering rattly gearbox one of the bearings is knackerd (not sure which) stops rattling on pressing the clutch.
I don't want to go spending a fortune doing the seals for the box to pack up.
any suggestions on what to do?
if we take the box out it means all the torsion bars off and everything else.
we can do the seal like that and the clutch but I don't want the expence of a gearbox overhaul. and of course a second hand one may be as bad or worse.
does anyone have a link for the crank seals for a 2.7 td?
to be honest its the first time in a good while I have got a few quid and I was hoping to keep it for days off work due to bad weather in the coming winter but this is our only car and has to be in good order.
