Cost of a crank seal leak repair
Depends on where the leak is falling from it could be the rear main seal leak, transmission back part connected to the transfer case, or a front main seal leak, the transmission part connected to the engine block also a possiblity is the shifter gear box if you have a standard, which also be in the front near the front main seal.
Remove transmission and replace front seal.
That would depend on what oil seal you are referring to. There are many oil seals.
As soon as possible.
Replace it.
yes there is a seal on the front of compressor that can go bad and leak freon.
It can leak from the front seal, or the cooling lines that run to the radiator. Or it could leak from a cracked case.
On your Ford Explorer , 4x4 , you have a leak at the PASSENGER side front axle seal ( I have had my passenger side front axle seal changed 3 times now on my 1995 Ford Explorer ) The seal doesn't cost very much , the cost is the labor and I would say it takes about 1 and 1/4 hours to do the job
Bad seal - needs replacement
