Front main seal
Ok so I was putting gas in my car and when I went to turn on my car my check oil light was on, so I drove about 5 miles home and checked my oil and it was low, so I filled it up and was looking for the leak. I found oil on the front of the engine around where the crankshaft comes out, my sway bar and all the other stuff is covered in dirt and oil, I'm pretty sure that this is the front main seal but I could be wrong, the oil never drips onto the ground where I park. Is there any other stops around there that would leak? And how hard is it to change out that seal? Could you guys give me a step by step guide? And how long does it take to change it?

take off the crankshaft pullie, the harmonic balancer, and get a seal puller to take it off. i made the mistake of taking off the whole timing cover to change the seal. it might be easier if you take off the fan also.
