Description of the problem	I own a 2006 dodge caravan with 2. 4 liter, 4 cyl dohc 16 engine. This van was built at the factory in 2005 - sold new in january 2006 to a rental agency and i purchased later when the vehicle had about 19,000 miles on it. The van now has 63,000 miles (in november 2010). I noticed very significant engine oil leak near the oil filter housing. The leak was determined to be coming from the front crankshaft seal. I had this seal replaced but within a days it had popped out and was leaking again. I understand that there is a technical repair/service bulletin - case number [xxx] (do a google search to find) on this issue. I also see that there are two nhtsa cases with identical problems to mine listed on this site (10333917, 10257511). Anybody see a trend here???? It's pretty clear to me that dodge has manufacturing issues with this engine if the crankshaft is continuously kicking out the seal. I wasn't expecting major engine overhaul or replacement on this vehicle when i purchased it and, as i said, the van only has 63,000 miles. Last dodge i will be buying!!
