1998 Pathfinder front output shaft seal keeps leaking.

Hey guys, I've replaced the seal on the transfer case to front driveshaft twice now, and it's leaking again. I checked the yoke, and it has some shinier spots than others, but you could barely feel it with your fingernail. Has anyone else had an issue with these seals leaking?

Coolant heater install location?

Because the thermostat is facing the lower rad hose (flow wise), you need to install a coolant heater in the upper rad hose, correct?

Yeah, thats what I've figured. Oh well, it runs well, just uses oil. For what I've paid ($800) I'll just keep driving it and take the synthetic out and use 5-30 conventional and just keep topping it up.

Bump!

Anything to check guys? Just changed plugs, all looked white, none with any oil deposits/grease on them. Changed PCV valve for the hell of it. No noticeable smoke, exhaust smells like only gas and no oil being burnt.

Update: Wasn't doing anything wrong, clutch was just seized onto the protruding hub of the waterpump. Used a long flat blade scredriver and pounded it between the fan clutch and water pump pulley.

1997 Pathfinder oil consumption - VG33

Hey guys, recently purchased my '97, and have noticed it's been using oil. I did an oil change about a month ago, and pulled my dipstick today and it was close to being bone dry, added about 3/4 of a quart and it's reading well again. It does not leak oil or blow blue smoke. I just replaced both val...

Home made anti-water ingestion suggestions?

Hey guys, the previous owner smashed the induction box resonator in the front fenderwell, allowing my R50 to ingest a bunch of water when I entered an 18" deep river, hydrolocking my motor (not fun wrenching in the middle of a river BTW) anyways, I'm looking for ideas to make this never happen ...
