Oil leak after timing belt/crank seal job...

[james accordino]

Isn't that the oil pump?  "pound the seal in"?  Did
they say that?  I never heard of an oil pump housing
cracking on it's own.  Wasn't leaking before, huh?
"we meant to mention that"  Sounds really fishy to me.
 I'd at least make another overture.  Maybe they'll
fess up, although I doubt it.  Sorry to hear about
your problems.
