This little rubber piece has a pretty important job – it seals the front or rear of your engine’s crankshaft where it comes out of the engine block. It keeps oil in and keeps dirt and debris out. Basically, it prevents oil from leaking and external contaminants from getting into where everything spins. There’s usually one at the front where the timing cover is, and another at the rear where it connects to the transmission. Think of it as a barrier between the oily inside of your engine and the outside world. The crankshaft itself is spinning constantly, so this seal has to move with it, maintaining a tight closure. It’s a vital part of the engine's lubrication system, ensuring the oil stays where it needs to be to protect all those moving parts. It’s positioned right where the crankshaft exits the engine, so it’s a critical point for keeping things sealed up. If this seal fails, you'll start to leak oil. You'll notice if you see oil pooling under your car, especially towards the front or rear of the engine. Even a small leak can cause a mess, and if it gets bad enough, it can lead to low oil levels, which can seriously damage your engine. It isn't something you want to ignore. Ignoring it can lead to a lot of expensive repairs down the line. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and getting a new one installed is usually pretty straightforward for a mechanic.
