The Engine Crankshaft Seal (Front) is a rubber, circular part that attaches to the front of your vehicle's engine. This small but mighty component secures the end of the crankshaft with the timing cover to restrict metal-on-metal contact and stop oil leaks from happening around your engine's crankcase.
A worn Engine Crankshaft Seal (Front) is most likely to occur in high mileage vehicles. Because the crankshaft seal is usually made of silicone or rubber materials, it can wear down or chip as your vehicle's mileage climbs. This deterioration could be caused by time, overheating, and oil degradation, which means that oil may slowly erode rubber car parts.
You may discover engine oil leaks when this seal fails. These leaks can cause oil to collect underneath your Nissan engine, which can eventually lead to costly engine repairs.
To help prevent these issues, try having your crankshaft seal looked at by an authorized mechanic at every 100,000 miles. By having this component inspected in a timely fashion, you can help prevent it from deterioration and avoid potentially costly problems in the future.
