You locate where the oil is leaking from (which can be a number of locations), and replace the failing seal.

That's the proper way to do it. Now on an OLDER HIGHER MILEAGE Vehicle here is my suggestion.

If you have a main seal leak - which can be at either end of the crank shaft , coming out from under the front pulley or dripping out of the gearbox housing - there is a *patch* one can attempt that has worked for me more than once and has been quite effective.

Put about a half pint of automatic transmission in the engine oil. THATS IT. It either works or it doesn't and what do you have to lose ?

What this does is softens and reshapes the edges of the oil seals that generally begin to dry out and get brittle with age.

Why does the Climate control panel on 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue not change to cool air?

well. odds are you either have a bad climate control cluster. you can go to any auto wrecker and buy then for about five bucks. I changed my cluster out for a digital climate control out of a 1992 fifth avenue, so I dont have to worry about that. anyway, the other problem you could have, is that you are out of freon. in other words, your air cvonditioning is not working. but if you have freon, then your cluster is bad.
