front seal

[wajerry90]

I have a 2011 Chevy Equinox with the 2.4, 4 cylinder and I bought the car in March and have been working out some of the issues like the cat was full, and brakes, I replaced the front crank seal about 2 months ago and have had no leaks since. But we have been having some really high heat in the area and twist when I am sitting in traffic say at a long stoplight it will blow oil out from behind the seal. It did it just tonight. Can that engine be building up pressure while waiting at an idle because that is when this happens is just at an idle. The engine purrs down the freeway just fine. I could use a few ideas I am one that really likes the car and engine. Thank you.
