so i put a g16a (carby) into my sierra about a month or 2 ago..
the rear main crank seal was leaking so i put a new rear seal and sump gasket sealant on..
engine has been runin fine for a month and no oil leaks anywhere, plenty of power and runs superquiet.
just got home and there is oil leaking all over rear main & front crank seal 8O engine is still quiet
and oil,water is fine..
option 1 : should i pull it out and get bottom end rebuilt hoping its just the crank and no (common)cracks in the block (as water and oil is not mixed)
option 2 : i can get another runing g16A for 3-$400, throw it in and hope that its a good engine.

i only replaced the rear seal and sump as there was no leaks near the front. cant remember if they were genuine or not but were from suzisport so i would think they were proven quality.

the main reason im worried is both front and rear seal have started leaking at the same time??
but the engine seems to still be runin fine..
