Ahh yes, the front crank seal. I've got mine to do. Had totally forgotton about that.   ::)#

Question is, do I just keep topping up the oil a little more regularly until the next cambelt change - or just bite the bullet and do the lot..

Bearing in mind, cambelt kit has done 20k since I last fitted it... might be a false economy time wise, to refit the used kit.. especially as the weather is now nice, and, when the 20k expires, it'll probably be snowing..  ;D
