EJ22 oil seal (and more)
Greetings all.
In 2003 I put an EJ22 into my 1982 Transporter.
The Subaru engine had done about 90,000km so I replaced the timing belt and whatever else was recommended at the time. I have been VERY happy with
the engine.
Now, 55,000km later it seems the crankshaft oil seal is leaking and needs replacement. Do people have suggestions of other items that ought to be
replaced at the same time (i.e. while I have that end of the engine in pieces)?
Thanks folks,
Dave

I really enjoyed driving the van - a camper - especially with cruise control!)

Not much else in that side of the engine, you could pull the inspection plate off and reseal it with silicon, just in case that starts leaking (held
on with about 10 phillips head screws).
Did you replace the camshaft seals when you got it, these can also start leaking along with the crank seal, but they are in the front.

Dave i just got déjà vu reading that as i already got the email from SV 
is it the pulley end seal or the flywheel end seal?
there both fairly similar to replace but if its the pulley end while its off its worth checking the oil pump which is behind for leaks as well

Thanks Joel and ratbug.
Sorry, it's the timing belt end of the engine.
OK I'll look at the oil pump seal too.

Ahh I thought you meant the flywheel side.
Ok well, the oil pump seal is the pulley seal. If your changing that you'd be taking the timing belt off etc etc, so i'd at the same time do the cam
shaft seals. You'd be kicking yourself if you went to all the trouble changing the oil pump seal, and then a few 1000ks later have to take it all
apart again to do the cam seals.
