92 sts oil leak
I have a 92 sts with the 4.9l engine and I recently put tires on it. the machanic told me there was a oil leak coming from the pully side of the engine. he believes it is the crankshaft seal. anyone have experiance with this? is it something I could do myself, or does the engine need to be out of the car?
Any info helps, Thanks

Re: 92 sts oil leak
I have the same leak on my '93 4.9. It's doable based on the description in the manual but looks to be a PITA to access. Mine isn't bad enough yet to make it worthwhile.

Re: 92 sts oil leak

Re: 92 sts oil leak
How severe is the leak? If it's not hitting the exhaust and burning, or leaving puddles, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It is a real PITA as mentioned to change the front seals. The engine cradle must be lowered slightly to get a puller on to get the crank pulley off.
Both my '93 and '94 4.9s have a slight leak. But they don't leave puddles and it doesn't hit the exhaust.

Re: 92 sts oil leak
I think its about a quart a month right now, but I don't want it to get any worse either.
no its not leaving puddles or hitting the exhaust, but the underside of the car is gunked up from all the oil.
