Replacing the front crankshaft seal
A sign that the front crankshaft oil seal needs to be replaced is oil leaking through its lip
Oil is sprayed out by the rotating crankshaft pulley, as a result of which the entire front part of the engine and engine compartment becomes oily.
Engine and transmission oils differ in smell, so with some skill you can determine which oil seal is defective.
There is another way to determine the type of oil.
Drop the oil into a thin layer of water poured into a vessel (or into a puddle).
The gear oil will spread over the entire surface of the water in the form of a rainbow film, and the motor oil will remain in the form of a drop, similar to a grain of lentil.
Before replacing the front crankshaft oil seal if a leak occurs, check the cleanliness of the engine crankcase ventilation system, since if it is clogged, the increased gas pressure in the crankcase causes a leak even with a working oil seal.

Sometimes the pulley is pressed in very tightly, so it is not possible to remove it with mounting blades. In this case, you will have to use a universal puller

Replacing the rear crankshaft seal
A sign that the crankshaft rear oil seal needs to be replaced is oil leaking through its lip.
Oil is sprayed by the rotating flywheel inside the clutch housing and then flows out through the cracks between the crankcase and its amplifier.
If there is a strong leak, the linings of the clutch driven disc may become oily and, as a result, the clutch may slip.
The reasons for oiling of the clutch discs and oil leakage from the clutch housing may be a leak in the gearbox input shaft oil seal.
