Have my unit checked because of oil leak beneath that was so much. They discovered my crankshaft oil seal should be replaced. When I got my unit, at first it was running smoothly, thought everything was okay, now it runs like I cannot seem to accelerate and say I am running at thirty kmh, and try to push to accelerate, it trembles or cough.

Hello,

When the front crankshaft seal leaks it can get on the timing belt which will make the engine lose time which sounds like what has happened. Here is a guide to show how to remove the harmonic balancer and the front seal along with diagrams to show you how to replace the timing belt:

Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken
