Anyone else had to replace theirs? If so, how much $ am I looking at (normally do servicing myself, but the Haynes BA manual shows the need for a pulley puller which I don't have). Thanks in advance!!! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/52236-crankshaft-oil-seal-leaking/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I can't add any more knowledge here, I've never had to reaplce the seal there Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/52236-crankshaft-oil-seal-leaking/#findComment-781056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience this would be unusual and what you r describing could mean something other than wear and tear caused the belt to fail.
