Trying to find a part
Well my car is leaking from the front of the crankcase its right at the bottem of the belt cover right above the oil pan seal where the oil pump is. Exactly what seals (part # and names) do i need. I cant tell from any of the pictures ive seen and I cant get at it without taking off the belt and that lower pulley. I dont want to buy the whole seal kit because the rest of the seals were done and that one wasnt done because the PO couldnt get the pulley off of it. What happens if i run into the same problem? What parts should I get for this repair? Dont worry im planning on changing the belt even though its maybe ...10k old.

Go to Pelican Parts and buy the front crankshaft seal. You will need a flywheel lock, a min. 1/2" breaker bar with I beleive is a 24mm or a 15/16" socket. You will need oil pump o-ring and a tourqe wrench capable of 150 lbs. You will need to remove all of the belts, sprockets and pullys as well as the back half of the belt cover. You will also need a belt tensioner and a balance shaft sprocket wrench.
When you get the pully nut of the pully should slide off the shaft. Good luck

I forgot to mention that I have done the job three times and each time on the first attempt I have screwed up the seal. So the last time I ordered two seals and sure enough screwed up the first one.
Also the job is a lot easier if you pull the cooling fans.

order a ruined seal, they are probably are free, then you save the time and expense of ruining a good one. then just carefully install the good one!
