new crank seal ... still leaking

[peterng]

Eh,

So I put a new front crank seal in my 89 22re last winter when I did the timing chain guide job. The bottom front of the engine is pretty wet these days and it looks like it is coming from the crank. I searched the forums and saw the belknap/Napa sleeve solution but I wasnt able to find very much information about it on the internet.

Anyone done this or have any input on this issue?
ps. the crank itself around the area where the seal went looked great to the eye ... is there any other reason it could be leaking?

Thanks,
Pete

Here is one thread that I could dig up. Might be worth putting in "22re crankshaf seal" or " 22re front main seal" in google and see what comes up.

attached with some epoxy or use Loctite 609 or 242 or put some red RTV and fill that groove before you put it on also look in the yellow pages under “bearing suppliers”.
