PLEASE HELP!!! It's my only transportaion.
I have a 2003 Hyundai Elantra with a 2.33 4 cyl eng.
My problem is it has a major oil leak. The Crankshaft seal has been replaced (3-times back to back) but it still builds up pressure and pushes it (oil) back out really fast. PVC valve has been checked and does not seem to be the problem. .

HI there,

have the oil pressure check first make sure that it is not excessively high, is the engine building up excessive crank case pressure? check these first.
