Hi Bob, my wifes car an hyundai accect had a oil leak that progressively got worse, I deduced that the front crank seal was leaking, I'd sealed the sump some time earlier, I thought I'd change the timing belt at the same time too and after an hour and half undoing the bottom pulley bolt I removed the timing belt covers only to find that the cam shaft seal had come out of its housing, so fitted new seals and timing belt and so far all ok
