Thread: Oil leaking from balancer

Ok, put a top swapped l26 in my 02 gtp. Everything went great but I have a oil leak coming from balancer. I replaced the seal and put a repair kit on the balancer since it was grooved. This did not work. I have done some research and they say it takes a little bit to get a new groove made in and it will stop over time. Driven about 200 miles on it and it still leaks.
It leaks really bad on start up like a stream comes out for about a minute then it is fine the rest of the day. Any thoughts would be great.
Thanks,

dont know what pics would do. its hard to get under there but it but oil is coming out from behind the balancer and dripping onto the cradle. Only does it bad when I first start it up then its fine the rest of the day.

hmm could be. I will check that tomorrow. Just weired it poors out at start up. I am talking like a stead stream for like 30 seconds then it slows to a few drips then nothng the rest of the day. I will look at the sender tomorrow THANKS

The L67 montana guy had an issue with aftermarket front seals.

perhaps a GM seal is in order?

well finally got around to looking at it and it is coming from the balancer. SOOO I guess I can try a gm seal. Dont know what else to do.

I got a timkin one in now. It is my second one so going to get the GM one and put that in. Thanks!

Finally got around to installing the GM seal. Worked perfect. NO more leak. Thank you. Funny that the GM seal is cheaper than the timkin.
