Front Engine Seals

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

Front engine Seal?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>could be the LIM Lower intake manifold, sounds more probable id love to get into it and tell u what ur in for if it is it, but just enter Lower intake Manifold into the search area and start readin the are ny number of horror stories about this, Sorry bout ur luk :wah:

Well luck has nothing to do with it since its all bad from this car! lol and I've already had the Lim done on it issed:

when i had my LIM fixed they also had to fix some kind of oil seal, never really looked into since i didnt hafta pay it anyway.......

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.
