    Default crank seal behind fly wheel e16se

    Just been to rolling road and had my car set up, when I got back I had a bad oil leak from the crank seal that was new.

    Now changed the seal, the new seal was a lot stiffer than the other and the oil leak has gone but there is still a small weep

    Any body had this problem????

    a common issue if the crank is worn... or you're just unlucky with cack seals... get a genuine GM one.

    Then thats probably why...
    Where the crank seal goes at the last cap your supposed to inject rtv silicone down the sides of the cap as per the build manual.
