  • Crankshaft leak?

    I noticed a leak on the ghost today. Got under the car and it seems to be an oil/water mixture coming from the crankshaft pulley. It looks like it's leaking from the seal. Is this a spot that could be leaking? I thought it was the water pump leaking and running down, but I'm pretty sure it's coming from the seal on the crankshaft. Just wondering if this is a possibility and what I should do? Thanks guys!

    I'd still be guessing the water pump if you are seeing a water oil mix. Maybe a combo of the 2.

        Ok, I just wasn't sure if that was a possible place for it to leak from. When looking at it I can see the seal and it appears to have a kink in it where the leak is.
