Subject:      Pulley End - Crankshaft Oil Seals
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Got an oil leak on my 2.1 coming from under the pulley. Might be the oil
pump, but I suspect a seal There is/was a large diameter "O" ring seal
and a smaller seal - and the large "O" ring is for those engine with P/S
and A/C. It seems this "O" ring is NLA. At least I cannot find any
vendors that have it. Van-Cafe shows it on their website but they
haven't been able to get it for some time.

Question is - is this large "O"ring necessary or is the smaller seal by
itself sufficient to do the job. I have never had this apart before so
am not quite sure what I will face when I tear into it, but I sure would
like to have the correct and necessary parts on hand before I start.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
