Hi Guys,
I posted some pictures of an oil leak, (constant fast drip from the sump rim) it was suggested by someone that saw it that it is probably coming from the oil seal where the crank comes out of the front of the engine.
Is there a guide here that deals with replacing this seal?
Is there a definite way to make sure that the leak is coming from here before stripping down?
The cam covers are leaking very badly and the plugs are very full of oil.. could this amount of oil be coming from here? - and if so, could it run down the front of the engine?
{as an aside}
Stealers have suggested that if the crank seal is leaking then the cam belt needs replacing as the oil splattered would degrade the belt - could this be true?? or is this another example of profiteering?

The cam belt is new - kindly fitted by a member here - and the car hasn't been driven since.
I'm prepared to attempt this myself but guidance would be appreciated (and needed !!).. or maybe miggy or someone local could point me in the direction of a reliable (non stealer) garage in the NP postcode area?
I'll try to post the pictures again or add a link to the previous posts..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
