[David]

Yes, it's an NG code 5-cylinder. Yes, they replaced the idle roller/pulley during the job.

My eduicated guess is the crank seal. When I told the shop about the leak they said, yeak I was going to mention that the aluminum housing housing that you pound the seal into is cracked, was cracked when you brought it in. Seems fishy to me, it didn't leak before. Thoughts? Should I push it and tell them it didn't leak before and I expect it to not leak now? Or should I just let it go knowiung that this is a 15+ year old car and sh1t happens...?
