Blew my alternator seal on March 5, 2017.
Proceed w/caution on oil consumption. Unfortunately, I didn't get any warning. Going all out! |
How many miles?
|
I have 78K, bought it used 1 owner in March 2015 with 51K. I don't think the previous owner did much to the car, they barely drove it. I suspect an older couple. I've been pushin' this baby. I've replaced other parts that have just deteriorated due to age.

If you have a warranty, you better use the hell out of it before it expires! Find the sticky on this site or the other one and just bug the hell out a dealer/Indy to find the common problems whenever they are servicing it and have the warranty fix it. If you dont have a warranty.....good luck...

Naw, no warranty. Already fixed and back on the road. Thanks.

Mine was leaking like a sieve at 110,000+ and I let it leak until 120,000. Finally had it replaced as I was afraid of a blowout. |
Alternator sleeve? leaking oil?
The alternator is an electrical device and is not connected to any oil. I think you are mistaken when you say that your altenator seal was broken |
Yes, you would think that, but big block BMWs do have an alternator seal, check the part number that's why I included it. Oddly enough, the seal is used for engines with and w/o oil coolers. Go figure.
Also, do an internet search and you will see many pics of the seal and associated leaks. It looks like a flat pacifier. You learn something new everyday. |
Yes, replaced some other o-rings an such while everything was dismantled.
