i have an oil leak i would like to fix over this weekend. i believe it is the front main seal, which im assuming is pressed into the timing chain cover? i have yet to remove the crank pully, but this is really the only place i think it can be. any one have a part number for this seal, or know if its the same out of the 91 ser?

i have a redtop..

correct. just pull the pully off (puller is the best way, but if you're careful, you can get it off with a prybar or two), take a seal puller or if you don't have access, carefully use a screwdriver to pry the old seal out (you may want to wrap the tip in tape, you don't want to mar up the sealing surface for the seal). Take the new seal, pop it in place with a suitable drift, get it flush, make sure it has grease and reinstall everything.

here's a link to midway's site. Their price on front mains is a bit better than 240motoring's. The front main off of a FWD SR will work for our cars.

courtesy's $5+ don't beat midways $4.84 nor their service.

go to a local auto store and look where they sell drain plugs. They always stock copper gaskets there. You can get ones that fit your banjo bolts.
