Alright I have a big problem. I have an oil leak and its not coming from the oil pan or the oil pan gasket. Me and mr friends think its coming from the front crank seal..,but have no idea how to take it off. If anyone has any suggestions on where the oil leak is coming from , or how to take off a crank gasket please help me out. Thanx.Mike

Its behind the crank pulley.

You need to remove the radiator shroud.You need a pulley puller to remove the crank pulley and then a screwdriver to remove the seal. Be careful not to score the crankshaft nub. You also need a seal installer to install the new seal. Its not hard.

Maybe you should use this opportunity to replace the crank pulley and dampener, too.
