Anybody still here?

Has anybody solved the front crank seal problem?  This is my third 
leak.  Last time I tried the stainless sleeve that's made for 
replacement seals.  I think I need to machine a new bushing.

Hi Gary,
I had a leaky front crank seal and after cleaning the area thoroughly, 
put a ring of 3M adhesive sealant in there all round, let it cure real 
well and then fingered in
another ring to get the area covered. No leaks since! Perhaps, the 
irregular motion between parts causes the leak and the adhesive flexes 
enough to hold things dry.
When speaking of the front seal, I assume it's the end that your redrive 
goes on, not the actual Subaru car-crank front end, right?

interesting.  did you put it on the seal or the groove in the spacer?
