    z5 leaking oil like crazy.....and crankshaft pulley bent

    well took apart somethings on the ol z5 and found out that my crankshaft pulley is bent and that has been why i have been eating belts, also seem to be leaking oil betweem the upper oil pan front(front of engine; under waterpump) gasket and the block, but just replaced those gaskets with fel-pros upper oil pan gasket set. Should i have only used Mazda OEM gaskets or is there TSB on installing those new seals? Anyways just let me know please and thanx.-1.3mazda

          probably the front main seal? behind the crank pulley.

          rear main seal is on the flywheel side.

            nope apperantly you cant apply any silicone onto the rubber end oil pan seals or they will leak llike a siphe, who would've guessed. Also just swapped my bent Z5 crank pulley for my old bp crank pulley and it worked fine except i had to convert my wp and alt pulley's to v-belt pulley's.
