M-1425867 | Caterpillar C15 Front Crankshaft Oil Group Seal, New

The crankshaft seal in a diesel engine is responsible for preventing oil leaks from the front of the engine where the crankshaft exits through the front cover. The seal is typically made of rubber or silicone, and is located behind the harmonic balancer or pulley on the front of the engine.

 

The crankshaft seal should be replaced if there are signs of oil leaks or if the seal is damaged or worn. Symptoms of a failing or worn crankshaft seal may include oil leaks from the front of the engine, excessive oil consumption, or a noticeable decrease in engine performance. It is important to replace a damaged or failing crankshaft seal as soon as possible to prevent further engine damage or oil loss.
