hiya it defo engine oil, ive bit the bullet today and had it in at the garage it is the crank seal iam of to vauxhall in the morning to pay for the seal £20.03 cos they dont stock it.
on the plus side i found out the t/belt was done 20k ago so wont have to pay out for that doing at the same time i was quoted £70-£80 parts and labour so about £50-£60 labour does this sound about right ? he also had a scout about underneath  while up on ramp and rekons its a gud un

does the timing belt not have to come off anyway to do the crank seal? The front one anyway?

[bestie26]

from what i can gather yes it does but the garage said as i originally didnt know the cambelt history  i would be mad not to have it changed although they would only fit a full cambelt kit after doing the seal not just a belt for my peace of mind as much as theres but as i now know the history and the fact the belt tensioners are in good condition so i can save on the price of the kit

result and the price doesn't shock me either
