Leaky engine!!
Hi wonder if anyone can offer some advice please. I have a 99 Cherokee XJ 2.5lt diesel (uk) model. I have had the rear main seal replaced but it is still leaking from the same area?! My mech has told me that it's more than likely to be the crank shaft bearings, or flywheel ( as that forms part of the seal). Can this be done with the engine in place or is this and engine out job! Thanks Jay

Hey Andy, have not had it fixed yet but it looks like engine out, crankshaft polished to get any grooves out and then new crankshaft bearings. A costly job, I have been told that it's very hard to stop this sort of leak completely!! So get saving for the work or new/old engine from breakers yard!
