oil usage

[Speedle]

well the cars still using iul by quite a rate, upon reflection the gearbox looked like it may have had burnt oil in it and oil was on the side of the block, so im thinking the main crack oil seal has gone. anyone had this problem? if indeed the is a crank seal behind the flywheel

its quite a common think to go on them. Changing it is an arse though because you've gotta take your gearbox, clutch and flywheel off.
