Clean off leak as good as you can. You can buy a die to put in the oil, usually yellow. After driving for directed amount of time on bottle you put on the ultraviolet sunglasses that come with the kit and you can see where your leak is coming from. Might help to pin point it at least. Hope this helps

remove the interior door trim and you will see small nuts holding the handle onto the outer door skin. Remove any rods /clips and undo the nuts and the handle will come out.
check the heat range of the plugs you are using ,also try the bosch 3 electrode plugs and if they still gum up then renew the piston rings and the valve guide seals
dear friend-your mechanic is not very convincing,did he perhaps use a pirate seal,or incorrect seal,according the km this car is still new,so it is not posssible for crankshaft to be damaged.please get a second oppion,as it might be that the leak is from somewhere else and not the seal in question.
depending on how bad the axels are. you could buy new ones. or you can buy a rebuild kit. now for the leak just 1 seal but if your gonna remove both axels i suggest buyin both side seals.
You haven't mentioned WHICH ONE? THE 'FRONT' OR THE 'REAR' SEAL? Tell you what, Go to http://www.hmaservice.com/ and register (vehicle by VIN). Afterward, you'll have access to technical information (manuals, wiring diagrams, service bulletins, etc) about your vehicle.
was the seal put in correctly. there is a certain way that a seal must be installed. generally i like to bake sure that there are no burrs on the shaft that slides through the seal. also the rubber part of the seal is usualy dry and they should have given you seal grease to soften it up before installation. did you use a seal driver to install the seal? trying to just tap it in with just a hammer will usually damage it and then it will leak. double check to make sure it was the right seal it's been known to happen that you go and buy a seal and you get home and it's the wrong one. i'm sure the problem is a a mis installed seal. unfortunately when you remove the seal you will not be able to reuse it due to the damage . you will have to purchase another one. hope this helps. please rate this solution....thanks
