This little rubber piece has a pretty simple job – it keeps oil in and keeps dirt and debris out. Specifically, it seals the space between the crankshaft – which is a major moving part inside your engine – and the engine block. It’s really about maintaining pressure and preventing leaks. Think of the crankshaft as the engine’s main power source – it turns with the pistons and gets everything moving. That crankshaft sticks out a bit where it connects to other parts, like the transmission. The seal sits right there, around where the crankshaft exits the engine. It's a critical part of the engine’s lower end. If this seal fails, you’re going to start seeing oil leaks. At first, it might just be a drip here and there, but it can quickly become a significant leak, leading to low oil levels and potential engine damage. That leaking oil can also sling onto other parts, damaging belts or even creating a fire hazard. It acts like a shield, preventing oil from escaping and gunk from getting in. You’ll notice if it goes bad – either a visible oil slick under your car, or you might smell burning oil. They’re relatively inexpensive to replace, so addressing it early saves a lot of headache and cost down the road. You can often find them on sites like Fixparts Online, along with all the other parts you might need for the job. Affordable and reliable: Crankshaft Seal (MPN 30901090) has a 12-month warranty!
