Crankshaft Oil Leak
I notice some fresh oil leak on the floor at the bottom of my car. Looks like it comes below the rear crankcase and next to the flywheel. Is there a quick fix without resorting to replacing the oil seal? If I leave it as it is, will it get worst? Oil seal was replaced at the last overhaul about 6 years back and car usage is moderate.

Re: Crankshaft Oil Leak
You're gonna have to change the seal, or keep topping up. No quick fixes for something like that.

This was the case on my car a few months ago. It had always leaked 'a bit' from near the front of the engine, possibly the main crank seal, and a few other spots. After I replaced the PCV valve, I haven't seen any oil on the underside of the engine, anywhere!
