Service bulletin IK1201514

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

This document provides instructions for sealing oil leakage past the flywheel bolt holes on S13 engines. Oil leaking from behind the crankshaft gear may exit through the flywheel bolt holes and is often misdiagnosed as a rear crankshaft seal leak. This condition is confirmed by oil-saturated flywheel bolts and visible oil pooling in the flywheel bolt holes behind the gear.
