- Oil-side sealing: The seal stays stationary while the crankshaft rotates against it, helping keep engine oil inside the engine.

Signs this engine crankshaft seal kit may need replacing include oil seeping from the area between the engine and transmission, fresh drips under the rear of the engine, or an oil level that drops between changes. Other gaskets and seals can leak into the same area, so confirm the source of the leak before replacing. If a worn rear main seal is the cause, this set replaces it.
On many vehicles, reaching the rear main seal means removing the transmission or transaxle. Follow the vehicle service information for the installation procedure, the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
This part covers 93 applications from Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Isuzu, Jeep, Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Saturn. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
