hello folks. my trusty brick wagon sprung a leak. drove from va to atl ga. no problem. on the way back, noticed rear window covered with oil. determined that it was coming from the front cam shaft seal. i checked my flame trap, and it was clear.
this happened about a year ago, and i found holes in the plastic air intake just below the throttle position sensor. when i fixed that the seal leak "healed" itself.
on the road i didn't find any new holes, didn't find any thing out of the ordinary.
course i was on the free way and my main intrest was getting home. so 5 quarts of oil latter i'm home.
got any idea's, test, tips. does this seal have a rep. for spontaneously failure.
how? why? how do i keep it from happening again.
thanks
