Description
The engine crankcase in your car is filled with oil to keep everything lubricated, and to keep the oil inside of the engine, seals are used anywhere there is a seam in the engine, or any place a shaft protrudes from the engine.
One such seal is the front main crankshaft seal. This seal is located around the the crankshaft at the front of the engine, and keeps oil from leaking out around the crankshaft. Unfortunately, over time seals will become brittle, crack and begin to leak due to their exposure to heat and oil.
If you have noticed oil dripping from underneath the front of your car, near the front of the engine, chances are that a failed crankshaft seal is to blame. Fortunately, Euromotiv carries a full line of engine seals for your Mercedes-Benz, so you can put an end to annoying and messy oil leaks.
