So turns out it was the the front crankshaft seal. He said it's the worst he's ever seen. Said it was just puking oil. He said they have to pretty much take out the whole front end to include radiator. $1050.

He is replacing those as well in the 1050. That is not his handiwork. Crankshaft seal actually makes a lot more sense given how the oil was flung all over.

Therefore, he doesn't know the source of the leak! Secure the oil pan! Btw, front seal is easily replaced, WITHOUT Quote Zco::>"He said they have to pretty much take out the whole front end to include radiator."

Btw, I always replace the front crankshaft seal from underneath!
There's a diyer on YT that is wet behind the ears, yet commend for the accomplishment:

After watching that, I am happy to pay a thousand lol. I don't have help and it's 40 mins to the nearest place where I would be able to rent the tools.
