Im replacing all front cover seals. Opti, water pump, and crankshaft. All parts stores are having problems. I went to the dealer, and they gave me a small one for the water pump drive, and a pretty large one for the distributer drive. I bought a kit with water pump gaskets that included the crank seal. My quistion is, should the distributer drive seal be larger than the crank seal?? It looked much smaller in the pic, but its phisically larger. I replaced my opti last year, and I cant remember. I plan to start replacing these in the morning, and dont want to have to call for a ride to go back to the dealership. Should the waterpump seal be quite small, then crank seal, then larger distributer seal??

 

Correct the opti seal is bigger then the crank shaft seal but it doesn't look that way when you look it up on the parts computer for some reason. The back of the opti is a little bigger then the crank hub shaft.

I just replaced my crank seal for the second time today and it is still leaking oil some where. I guess it's the oil pan gasket next.

 

Thanks a lot man. That makes me feel better. Im gonna do this tommorow, and hopefully I wont have anymore leaks I replaced my rear main and pan seal when I replaced my clutch. It will be nice to have a leak free car again
