[Fot] [TR] Timing cover crank seal oil leak

[Jerry Van Vlack]

I’ve seen that too but that’s not my issue at least for now. What does the future hold?

On  2 occasions I had a leaking timing because of a small hole in the cover itself : once the hole had the shape of a thin line and was located near the rivets or spotwelds of the chain tensioner.

Jerry; 
We run a narrow belt on both cars. In both cases the damper puller housing extends into the timing cover to mate up against the slinger washers. No problem using the stock oil seal. We have had some leakage out between the crankshaft spigot and the pulley. Perhaps via the Keway. and the fit between the pulley and spigot is a little worn, so we assemble it with some rtv. No leaks.
I wonder if you have eliminated the slinger washers, and if the joint between the spacer and damper coincides with the lip seal interface. 
Merry Christmas!!!

    I run a thin belt conversion and have an oil leak from the timing chain cover. New seal at rebuild 2 years ago. Leaked from initial startup but now getting worse. I know about speedy sleeves and might try that. 

    My question is this. Has anyone else experienced excessive leakage while using the thin belt conversion? The Moss instructions imply that the seal rides on the spacer installed behind the damper pulley. 
    Has anyone found a double lip seal replacement to the standard supplied seal and if yes do you have a reference P/N?

    Thanks and Merry Christmas. The New Year has to be better than 2020.
