hi, i had a bad oil leak coming from the front main oil seal. when i took it apart the front main oil seal was was dangling on the front crank shaft journal. so i replaced all the oil gaskets and it ran fine for 4 days then i look under the car the next day and there was a puddle of oil right uner the crank shaft pully in the same spot as last time. im not sure here but it seems like the bottom half the the case is pressurizing and pushing the seal out. does anyone have any ideas why its doing this? :cry:

Either
a) you didn't put your seal in correctly
b) it's not your front seal thats leaking or
c) your PCV system is fubar and it pushes the seal back out.
Check that it is not your cam seals/oil pump drive seal as they were leaking pretty bad on my car.

Or d) your oil pump drive shaft seal is gone.
It's in between the cam seals and the front mail seal, but you have to pull the timing cover rear plate to access it.
