Hey everyone,
A few months ago (~109,000 miles) i found my turbo oil feed line to be leaking in the usual spot so i replaced it along with my water outlet and overflow hose while i was there. I also had an issue with my TBPS so i replaced the whole intake manifold with new throttle body + fuel rail the hole shebang. To address some very minor seepage, i also replaced the two cam seals. problemo solved.
Fast forward to today (112,000 miles) i still have had some very faint oil burning smells (with no noticeable loss in volume) so i decided to put some dye in my oil to trace the source of the leak. The only place i have found any residue, after about 300 miles of driving, is in the area immediately around the crankshaft pulley leading me to believe this could be the culprit. This being said, i have not found too much on replacing the seal. Ordered it today for $10 on amazon. I found 1 video on youtube of a guy with a sonic and it appears you do not need a puller to get the pulley off. Anyone run through this routine yet and have some lessons learned ?
Thanks,
Phil
