APEX Automobile Parts Inc Engine Crankshaft Seal Kit P/N:ABS333
Keep engine oil where it belongs at the back of the block with the APEX Automobile Parts Inc Engine Crankshaft Seal Kit (ABS204), a rear main seal set that seals around the rear of the crankshaft where it exits the engine and retains engine oil. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1985-1987 Ford Ranger [L4-2.3L], 1992-2012 Hyundai Elantra [L4-1.6L, L4-1.8L, L4-2.0L], 1992-1998 Hyundai Sonata [L4-2.0L], 1997-2001 and 2003-2008 Hyundai Tiburon [L4-1.8L, L4-2.0L], and 2005-2010 Kia Sportage [L4-2.0L] — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A worn rear main seal typically shows up as oil seepage at the back of the engine, near the bell housing, and oil drips beneath that area after parking. If a failed rear main seal is the source of the leak, this set replaces it; diagnose the cause of any leak before ordering.
What is the APEX ABS204?

What are signs the rear main seal may need replacing?
Oil seepage at the back of the engine near the bell housing and oil drips under that area after parking. Diagnose the source before ordering, as other gaskets can leak too.
