this possible? Please help Me understand .The mechanic stated that his

Crankshafts and camshafts are balanced. Never heard of a crankshaft causing a transmission front pump seal to leak. That is B.S. It probably because he didn't replace the bushing in the front pump housing to begin with or he knows that something is wrong that he does not want to fix. Everything that spins with a motor is balanced.
