    On a side note, i wish all auto mechanics would have as much passion and enthusiasm as you. To be honest I wasn't really into cars or even try to diagnose and fix on my own, until my girlfriend showed me one of your videos and I've been hooked ever since. Keep sending those videos brother.

      It was the Engine front Seal, behind the front passenger wheel. Where the belt(s) of the engine are. There is a bushing you need to replace about 2.5" in diameter behind the belts.

    • @mimusic1853
      @mimusic1853 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      I believe it’s called the crank shaft seal

    I'm crying because my h3 hummer is doing this and that's exactly what the issues is. Now i have to make a decision to either get it fixed or wait and fix it next pay period. But it's my only vehicle so I'm going to just fix it and figure out the rest. I hate being an adult sometimes.

    • @Quis85
      @Quis85 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I got it fixed Saturday. Now the oil dipstick leaking. 😭. I pressure washed and clean the whole undercarriage of my vehicle it's looks brand new again. Besides the new leak from dipstick at the bottom. Apparently it has a rubber seal at the end. But I'm confused as of how oil leaks from that spot. But the things we deal with with the vehicle we love. Just annoying at times.

    Mine leaks when is not in use after i use it and park it inside the garage. Hopefully is the motor cap. Because before i had a leak from the antifreeze and mecanic charge me money and didn't find anything. So i went and buy a radiator cap and it stopped the leaking and it dosent overheat anymore.

I had to get the engine changed and after some days the splash engine shield fell off and realized there was an oil leak they told was fixed what could be the problem? Any idea much appreciated it. I took my car to the same shop three times already about this leak.

    You said crank shaft but at the end you never mention if it's the back or front seal . Also you said it was coming from this area ,many would ask what do you mean by this area .

    • @hostilityy
      @hostilityy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Obviously front main seal leak. rear main seal is by the transmission. Anyone under a car looking for leaks should already know what these are.

    I was told the exhaust is never supposed to leak oil never no matter what car it is which means this is bad. I really don't think this engine is fixable. The damage has been done.

    • @BigDaddyTiberius
      @BigDaddyTiberius 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      If its just a leak a rebuild is overkill. The leak in this video will require a new seal. The difference is a few hours to replace a seal as opposed to a day taking apart the whole engine then putting it back together again.

    I have a 2015 Camry 4 cyl I changed the oil and after I experienced a small leak. I check the oil pan drain plug and filter--all ok, but just above the oil pan there is what looks to be a black plastic housing and that had oil on it .
    Now when I check the oil level I can not determine if I over filled or not because the GD oil is so clear, but maybe I did add too much. any thoughts?

  • @robletto841

The oil pressure switch was loose!! I was going grazy with this leak 😔 but fixed.

    Bro I was driving last night and suddenly I started to lose rpms, then a few meters later the car stop, I tried to turn it on it starts a bit but the goes full stop, there’s a engine check and oil check. What could that be?
    My first response was to check the engine dipstick and it was low thankfully I was close to a petrol station, I purchase a quarter oil to momentarily solve the issue, it started but then it stopped I checked underneath the car and It was a moderate oil lick. Any Ideas what could that be ? My grammar is terrible.
