So i was at super lube the other day gettin my oil changed. i never did it myself cause its winter but anyways, they checked over my car and they said that my front engine seal was leaking. I have a 1995 GTS with just the stock motor, im not sure which one it is. Is this probelm something really major that i should be worried about? or is it and easy fix that i could do it myself?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks. -Colin -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

The front main seal is a low-pressure seal, so you could operate your car for a long time with no problem at all, as long as you check the oil regularly. The seal is literally the furthest part back, behind the crank pulley, timing belt cover, and timing belt, so the timing belt should be changed at the same time, along with the water pump.
