Big oil leak

I have a 2004 that has the front crankshaft oil seal leaking oil. The old seal was pushed out of the motor. I put in a new seal and in 10 minutes it was pushed out and was leaking again. It is leaking alot of oil and can not be driven. The car has 130,000 miles on it and wonder what to do.

Any ideas?

RE: Big oil leak

How long has it been since the PCV valve was tested/serviced?

RE: Big oil leak

That's right, sounds like there's pressure being built up in the engine someplace. Another possiblility is the catalytic converter is clogged or collapsed. I had that happen on a Toyota once, made leaks in all the seals.
