Dear Calvin,

Just Have Your Front Crank Seal Replaced. The Water Pump Does not Need To Be Replaced At This Time. Try Taking It To Two More Mechanics. See what They Say. And Decide On A Fix.

Hope This Helps,

Alex :o)

yes its worth fixing.

a good mechanic will charge you between 3.5 and 3.9 hours labor to do the job properly plus parts.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

it will cost a little bit but what I would do is find a uses part and new gasket,Did some one hit something because they dont crack much, and I hope the cranks is not bent,I hope this helps you?

If you aren't a pretty good shade tree mechanic I don't recommend you try it. You need a seal removal tool and if you have to be very careful not to scratch the crankshaft when removing the seal. If you have had the head replaced lately I can tell you that you may have the head gasket on wrong causing the pressure to build up at the crank seal! You have to remove the timing belt and belt gear to get to the seal.

You haven't mentioned WHICH ONE? THE 'FRONT' OR THE 'REAR' SEAL? Tell you what, Go to http://www.hmaservice.com/ and register (vehicle by VIN). Afterward, you'll have access to technical information (manuals, wiring diagrams, service bulletins, etc) about your vehicle.

cam and crank seals should be replaced with the second timing belt change along with idler pulleys and water pump as the extra labour and cost is minimal compared to doing the job twice, but that comes down to the professionalism of the person working on the vehicle, you should atleast be educated in the fact so you can make a decision at the time of belt replacement
