Rear crank oil seal

Evenin all.

Am i missing a trick here... Fitted a new allmakes 4x4 rear oil seal when i put my 300tdi in few weeks back.

Leaked a wee bit, not too bad. Went for a 200 mile drive, came back, it was literally dribbling out!

While the engine was out t'other day had a look at it, seems quite hard, and doesn't seem to be a good enough fit over the crankshaft. Any ideas?

I am probably gonna get a genuine one this time, but is there like an orange one thats better, or something?

Oh, its gotta be the 12J one, 'cos thats the flywheel housing that I have fitted.

Ta all!

shud have bought gen in the first place for the sake of 4 quid difference.

The orange one is the 'Gen' one I can give you a price if ya want

go 4 it! Have a ****part one here that im not even going to bother fitting, gorra price and postage cost etc? Have got another source, but he don't know when he will b able to get me one. Ta!

Why wasn't the one i took out orange?

was it silver on the outer with a white plastic inner

No it was green, with a black inner. Its stopped feckin leakin an all now.

I had the same problem with a Haddocks one probly allmakes4X4, I replaced it with a genuine one, an so far no problems. Had the same problem with Allmakes steering box seal the one on the input shaft, started ****ing oil out after a few days so replaced it with one from a local bearing an seals place an it's bin ok since.

Yours randomly absolutely ****ed out one day then stopped the next? Poxy thing... Ian, wheres that genuine price!

You know the old saying.... if its not leaking oil, there's no oil in it!

As if!

Spam or no, its stopped leaking! I honestly can't believe it!

Its stopped smoking, stopped pressurising the crankcase, and 2 days later it stopped leaking!

The only thing i can think is that a large dose of Wyns engine oil stop leak ackshurly worked! Must be bloody good stuff though, it was litterally dribbling off the bottom of the engine... There was a black line up to everywhere i came to a halt!

Oh yeah, theres oil in it, checked again today juuust in case, up to the max mark! Hasn't lost any at all, well chuffed!

Great stuff
