The Corteco 20018100B is a camshaft shaft seal, designed to prevent leakage of oil between the camshaft and the engine block. It is typically used within the differential assembly of a vehicle's drivetrain. This seal utilizes advanced rubber compounds to provide exceptional resistance to wear, heat, and oil degradation, ultimately contributing to increased engine reliability and longevity. It measures 12 x 54 x 54 mm and is manufactured in Indonesia. This little rubber seal basically keeps oil in and keeps dirt and debris out around the camshaft. The camshaft itself is up inside the engine, and it needs to be lubricated with oil to keep everything running smoothly. The seal sits where the camshaft comes out of the engine block, preventing oil from leaking and preventing gunk from getting into the engine where it doesn’t belong. It’s a pretty simple part, really, but it plays a vital role. Think of it like a barrier protecting a critical area of your engine. The camshaft controls when the valves open and close—essentially, it’s a big part of how the engine breathes. Since it’s spinning constantly, it needs that oil supply, and the seal makes sure that oil stays where it needs to be. It’s located right up there at the top end of the engine, working alongside the valve cover gaskets and other seals. Well, if this seal fails, you’ll start to see oil leaks. Usually, it's a slow leak at first, but it can get worse over time. You’ll notice if you see oil pooling around the front or side of your engine, or if you smell burning oil. That oil leaking onto other components can damage belts and hoses, and a serious leak can eventually lead to low oil levels which is never good. Replacing this seal proactively is much cheaper than dealing with the consequences of a major oil leak or engine damage. You can find these seals pretty easily online, places like Fixparts Online have a good selection. They’re not terribly difficult to replace for someone with a bit of mechanical skill, but if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, it’s best to have a mechanic take care of it. Why settle for less? Camshaft Shaft Seal (MPN 20018100B) comes with a 12-month warranty!
