Both the shifter seal and the crankshaft pulley end seal can be changed with the engine/transmission in the car. How do you know that the pulley end leak is the crankshaft seal? It could be the case joint sealant or the o-ring on the outside of the no. 8 nose bearing. The back engine mount/console has to come off to access this area for a proper evaluation. Was this done? The proper repair for these leaks requires cracking the case but provisional repairs have been made for the o-ring leak by cleaning (carefully degreasing with brake cleaner or equivalent) the area outside of the nose bearing and making a fillet of RTV silicone rubber in the corner to affect a temporary seal. Be wary. Jim
