This 2006 Subaru Forester was bought to our Asian import auto repair shop in Ann Arbor with an oil leak and noisy power steering. A quick underhood inspection by our Subaru technician found this messy problem.
This week, we had a 2007 Mazda 3 with an oil leak that needed to be diagnosed and repaired.
We found the engine's rear crankshaft seal was leaking. Replacement of the seal required removal of the transmission, clutch assembly, and flywheel for access to the seal.
