#5 of 11 2005 Sebring Oil Leak by cooljune65 Jun 26, 2009 (11:30 am)
We have a 2005 Sebring with an oil leak only when the car is running. The leak appears to be coming from the above the oil filter. We changed the oil filter in the hopes that is was just a puncture in the filter....but no luck. I think it may be coming from the seal where the lowest pulley that the serpentine belt is on, on the front of the engine. We are going through a couple quart of oil every couple days. Anyone have any idea how much something like that might cost or if there may be another place to look for the leak? I appreciate anything anyone might have to offer!! Thanks!!

#7 of 11 Change Oil indicator by mikefm58 Aug 04, 2009 (2:57 pm)
I've got an 08 Sebring sedan with the 2.7L engine, currently with 17400 miles. I bought it 2 months ago at Carmax and it had 15800 miles at the time, allegedly the oil & filter was just changed. Checking the oil it looked perfect, light brown.   The Change Oil indicator just came on and I'm wondering if when they allegedly changed the oil, that they followed the reset procedure. Is this indicator based on time and mileage?   To be 100% safe, I may just change the oil & filter myself as well as reset the indicator.
#8 of 11 Sebring exaust is smoking. by terrichick Aug 22, 2009 (7:12 am)
When starting my 1998 Sebring Convertible, I notice that it smokes once in a while. But not all of the time. The smoke is white and light. What would cause that, and how do I fix it?
#9 of 11 Fan running when I start the car. by terrichick Aug 22, 2009 (7:22 am)
I have a 1998 sebring convertible. I noticed that when I start my car, it doesn't take long for the fan to come on. About 1 minute or less. Is this normal, or should I be concerned. The engine doesn't run hot. but the fan does come on almost immediatly. How can I fix this?

Replying to: v_ant_v (Sep 28, 2009 7:52 pm) It ended up being the lower crank seal. We have a guy here locally that does mechanic work on the side...he replaced it for us and it cost like $900. If we had taken it to a shop or dealership they would have charged us about $2300...or more. We had it fixed about a month ago....only problem....it is leaking AGAIN!!!!! We are going to try and trade it in the the same dealership we bought it from and screw then like they screwed us. Our mechanic thinks it is a problem with the shaft itself...that is why the seal replacement only held for like a month or so. I hope this helps you!!! Sorry it is not good news!!
