Default Good news/bad news : Found oil leak!/Can't fix it!

Finally was able to get all the way under the car to find the oil leak in the ole Rex. The seal has pushed out a little bit where the crankcase pulley meets the oil pan. (if you're looking in the engine bay it would be on the far right side of the engine, underneath the bottom most pulley) There is a seal there and I don't know how to go about replacing or resealing that. I have a manual but it's a bit vague on this particular seal.

Anyone have any advice on this or can direct me towards another website with some good info? Thanks in advance

Sounds to me like it is your oil pan gasket. They are not that difficult, but you do have to take the bottom portion of your header off to get to the bolts surrounding the oil pan. You will need some extenions, 3/8 ratchet and i think the bolts are 10mm, oil pan gasket, and some gasket sealer. I recomend you have a little tray to put them in because there is a lot of bolts. And remember, when tightening the bolts start from the outside and work your way in. Keeps everything tight. Do not over tighten, if you do you will see the gasket sticking out of the side of the oil pan.
Hope that helps.

Matt

It could be your main seal also, either the front or back. I forgot which one that is.
