    Oil Leak How long before seal failure?

    Well it seems I have a new oil leak. Oil is leaking from behind the crankshaft pulley causing the belt to squeal. Its 2004 TD5 Defender. How long do i have before the seal lets go completely. i am having it serviced when Mr Swan gives some of my hard earned back, which might take a while.

    I can spin spanners but I am thinking maybe I should "pay the man" to deal with the pulley bolt.

    Thanks Dave

    asking how long the seal will last is like asking how long is a piece of string

    daft question but are you sure its that seal? and not the cam plug behind the egr cooler? thats quite a common and cheap thing to fix... and not always that noticaeable that its weeping.

    Just a thought....

    Thanks
