im not sure if this is the order it went in but i had a oil leak so they changed my camshaft and crankshaft seal and while they were at it i had them do the timing belt and water pump...still had a leak got the rear main seal done and now some time down the road its leaking transmission fluid again...i put in lots of money in this car many things not even listed but obviously you need to get to work somehow so i kinda wanna just get this fixed and sell it because its been trouble since day one..after the initial repair though (water pump,timing,etc) i heard a weird noise from the engine like kind of a diesel noise or knock or belt flapping..never really had a chance to get it checked out except a quick look and i got a "air conditioner clutch bearing" answer but who knows just odd how that started after they fixed other stuff...my ac doesn't work though so could be that but it also could be something in the engine causing the seal to go? sorry for all the junk just kinda confusing and annoying how i cant get this car working properly so just looking for ideas...bad crankshaft?/needs to be balanced? or something with the transmission is causing the seal to go? i noticed some engine oil on an axle when i was changing the oil today..the more i look the less i wanna see the car in the driveway..are dodges good cars? this one obviously isn't but maybe charger or srt 4 a little more reliable? open to newer car suggestions under 15k..this one is a 98. maybe a non related but i have problems with my shifter..sometimes i can put in neutral but its really reverse and has to be in a really specific spot for neutral or drive is sometimes neutral and i have to pull it back because it sometimes would go out of gear and i can move from D to N without even pushing the button..something not adjusted or replacement of something needed?..(transmission work was supposedly done before i got the car) the head was replaced by a previous owner(at dealership)..my mechanic said the rear main seal was in terrible shape when they took it out like the engine was baked(maybe y the had to change head) so im guessing theres a chance of internal damage which means very expensive and not good news for me...thank you for your time and any ideas/input you have.
