how do i replace a front crankshaft seal on a 99 mitsubishi mirage
You have to remove the serpentine belt and drivebelt accessories then the passenger side engine mount, remove the timing cover, remove the timing belt, and the crankshaft sprocket to access the seal. It's about a day and a half of work.
Very carefully
Cost me $185 at the dealership.
You have to remove the drivebelt accessories and then remove the timing covers and take out the timing belt or chain. Basically you have to tear the side of the engine apart to get it out. It's a good day or two of work.
You probably need to replace the crankshaft seal
You have to remove the transmission from the vehicle, then remove the flexplate from the crankshaft. The seal is directly behind the flexplate.
5-6 hours
Oil leaks because a seal has failed.
It is on the front of the crank shaft. It seals the oil at the crank pulley.
