09 ls panel oil leak
 
Hello, my 09 hhr has an oil leak. I know it's on the passenger side. I cleaned that side real good and spent most of the day looking for a drop. But of course nothing. Anybody got any ideas? I was thinking crankshaft pulley seal, or timing cover. But like I said Not even a drip. Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. Read my thread. It is actually pretty easy fix.

We are supposed to replace the crankshaft pulley bolt since it is TTY (Torque To Yield). I hate TTY bolts. I made a tool to hold the pulley while I loosened and tightened the crankshaft bolt. If you reuse the original bolt, you take a chance of snapping it when you try to torque it to 75ft lbs + 75 degrees. I used a pvc coupling (think it was 1.5”) to tap in the new seal. Autozone and O'reilys have a free tool loaner program.



Here is a pic of the tool I made.

And here is a picture of my weenie dog (Ozzy), he has a rawhide stick in his mouth, but he looks like he is smoking a cigarette.
