Default Crank seal
Oil is leaking quite bad out of my 3i where the box joins onto the engine.

Am I right in thinking its the crank seal?

If so how much would it cost approx for someone to do it, I was thinking around £120?

you getting any clutch slip? if theres oil coming out the box theres a good chance it may contaminate the clutch mate, but without taking the box off there aint really a solution to solve it

Had a recent new sump and gasket so thinking its the crank seal.

Getting it done Thursday, £160 for the seal to be done and 3 tyres re sealed and 2 balanced.

Unfortunately means absolutely nowt on a CVH, people just don't seem able to do the job properly.

Has it only leaked since having the sump done?
