front engine seal oil leak
« on: Apr 6, 2005, 10:30PM »
hi guys

i got a problem with my R31 pinny today, the front oil seal of the CA20E had failed itself, and i am getting a drop of oil coming out every few seconds. :'( Can any one tell me how much would it cost to fix at the mechanic? If i want to do it myself, it is hard to do? what other parts and tools do i need beside the oil seal?? ???

Urgent  as i need to use the car next few days.
 :-\

thanks

pretty sure u need to take off your oil pump.  can't be that hard if you wanted to try to do it urself!

hi

i got the timing gear out, but i have to go get a new one because i destory the teeth completely. it was badly corroded and it was very tight because of the rust from the leak offf the water pump. AAAAhhh, i wont do it again. i rither pay workshopt around $350 to get it done next time. If u stuck like me dont bother call a mobile mechanic, they cant help much as well. :-*

thank u  8)

Highway, did you end up removing the oil pump assembly and oil pan to replace the seal or getting away with just the timing gear?
