well the 92 looks like the oil pump is leaking....whats your thoughts on changing the two seals ?

can i get the outer seal out with out droping everything? our am i better off pulling it all off? you can email me if you wish? sightseeker2@gmail.com this will get her hands dirty now...lol

[subspec]

Well it all depends on where its leaking from. id replace both seals. Or just get a new pump. My toga hv pump was like 150

[sightseeker]

ok....ill be diging into it tomrrow , and find out then...dont need a puddle of oil in the driveway. or to drop that motor. thanks for your insite.

[subspec]

You don't have to drop your motor for a oil pump. Or water pump. It just maybe difficult for most people to do.

So heres the up date on the 92 oil leak...pulled the covers of and all the belts and balancer. found a new water pump , timing belt and idlers and yes a new oil pump and seals. guess were the p/o cheaped out or thought the old one looked ok.....yep you gussed it the o ring was in little pieces when i pulled the oil pump..new o ring and back together ...no more oil leak.
