Front Engine Seals

[JMac'sAlero]

Alright the story is was driving today and my change oil light comes on and I still had about 1000 kms before I had to change it so I get the oil changed and the guy tells me that the front engine seal is leaking and the thing is I've only got 74361 kms on the damn thing!! Has anyone had this problem and if so how much did it cost to repair? cuz if its an arm and a leg i think I'll be upgrading to a 2004
Thx

When my LIM seal went, I wasn't really losing coolant into the engine, I was leaking oil out. It was a slow leak, so it took 1000 miles to be down more than a quart. Use a flashlight while it is idling and look to see what it is. If it is an oil pan gasket or something it may be a cheaper fix. The LIM repair you did may have been before GM released the updated gaskets, so it may have to be done again, and may be the responsibility of the mech who did it before. Good luck.
