Back end crank seal?

[Gdad60]

Is this a big job' as I'm no tools an oil man..thanx..

[Piglet]

Quite big,
Driveshafts & gearbox out, clutch & flywheel off.

Which oil is dripping out? Black watery engine oil or brown sticky gearbox oil?

[Gdad60]

Very black watery oil' nothing heavy, just a drip..

[Piglet]

Very black & watery sounds like engine oil. (sounds like it needs changing as well!)
My money on crank seal.
If it's just a drip you could ignore it for a bit, until it gets on the clutch of course.
You would be well advised to change the clutch at the same time anyway.

How many miles has it done? and has it had a clutch?

[Gdad60]

Only had for 2 months, no history' I knew it had this oil leak but I'm willing to play the tooth fairy for a while!! I will take your advice and try and get job sorted soon as,...2006..109000 on clock.. I wish you lived next door piglet..lol..

[Piglet]

I wasn't offering to do it!
At 109K it should be on original clutch and they can last a lot longer, but not always, depends on the driver(s).
Get a few quotes for 3 piece clutch and crank shaft seal.

Is it 90 or 110? Check with Fords if yours has 'Dual Mass Flywheel' They are expensive if you need to replace that as well.
