    My 16M has developed an oil leak from the front main seal behind the crankshaft damper. Has anyone out there had this problem? And if so, what is the procedure? I believe that the seal can be accessed from the front (outside) of the engine. It looks like that all that has to be done is to remove the serpentine belt and then the damper. I think that the seal can then be removed and a new one fitted. All advice will be appreciated.

    The damper is torqued to roughly 450ft lbs because of the stretch bolt. I have seen one other 430 coupe with roughly same miles as yours with the same problem. Owner didn't want to fix the leak.

    Let's say the car was tracked? So? So what?
