My dealer says that both crankcase seals are leaking at 65,000 miles. i just find that hard to believe. He also claims that oil pump is leaking.
Can you give me your opinion?
Thanks

Good morning,

Chances of all those seals are leaking is very small.

I am more concerned as to why they are leaking. If the crankcase pressure is too high, it will cause leaks at these seals as they are the weakest links.

Before you allow anyone to repair, the reason has to be determined otherwise they will leak again.

It sounds like the PCV system is at fault. Ask them if they checked the system.

Even if there was a problem with the system, those seals will have to be replaced. They will not stop leaking if the system is repaired.
