Crank Pulley woes

Well, I've had this NASTY vibration when boosting for several weeks.

i think I figured it out - belt was too tight, lifting on the crank pulley and tweaking it - I loosened my belt, and it seems to be better, but not 100%.

I have a nasty oil leak (still drivable, but not 1 drop a week) behind the Crank.

Anyone else experienced vibration/oil leaks from the SC belt being too tight on the Crank Pulley?

chebosto - sent in his SC due to oil leak. Vortech said the oil leak is due to belt over-tensioned.

If you have a impact you should be able to remove that 18 or 19MM bolt and replace the gasket behind the crank pulley to fix your leak.
