Hi all.
I have a 1988 L2550 with just over 1000hrs on her. Unfortunately I’ve had to do some very cold starts with her this winter. After one of these while moving snow I was engine oil leaking at a pretty good clip. Surprisingly it was only down a quarter on the dip stick, felt like more but…..
I’m fairly confident it’s a crank seal on the front of the engine. I have a WSM manual but surprisingly it does not cover how to replace this seal. I’ve searched here and on YouTube as well to no avail….. Would someone be able to give me some guidance on the steps involved? Also I believe I had this seal replaced in the past but had someone do it. Is this a problem that’s gonna keep occurring?
Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciate.. Thanks so much in advance!!!! Kevin
