  • Leaky Front Crank Seal

    It seems to not leak if I run it a quart low on oil. Time will tell.

    I hope this doersn't mean you plan to run the engine a quart low on oil.

      Even running it low, it'll spit oil on the highway. Guaranteed, ask me how I know.

        Ive had 2 festivas that had the front crank seal go. They spit out less oil when running a quart low but they just keep getting worse until you replace the seal and replacing it is easier than damaging your motor from running too low on oil by accident

          I Agree with ryanprins13. The oil slinging makes a big mess, takes a big risk on engine damage and I think the oil deteriorates the timing belt.
          186,000 miles per second is not just a good idea, it's the law
