Replaced the crank shaft oil seal, as it has given up in catastrophic style and sprayed oil everywhere!. Had to replace the auxiliary belt as that had also partly shredded because of the oil ingress. We realised when removing the crank pulley, that one section of the aux belt had stripped and wrapped around the rear of the pulley... A seal, belt, oil change, and steam clean later, plus a test drive to ensure the leak was gone, and she's back on the road once again :D 8)

Long time good friend of the family has a garage, so very fortunate on that count. Only parts required were belt, seal, oil and filter. None were expensive from frauds believe it or not. Didn't need the timing tool as it was the auxiliary belt, not the timing belt :D
