I figured, but the local parts store did not have one listed. Guess thats what I get for calling Schmucks! Have you replaced one JasonB?

Ask for the front crankshaft seal. Not too
difficult once the harmonic balancer is off.
Its just like any other front crank seal.
Hopefully your leak is not coming from the timing chain cover instead!!!

Travis, you will need to remove the balancer, sometimes you need to use a tool to remove it with, then just carefully pry out the old seal, clean the crankshaft and the timing cover then put a little sealer on the new seal and see if you can find either a seal driver, or a piece of pipe or large socket to drive the new seal into place. Its a fairly easy job, I have done more than I can remeber. Or you could have a shop do it for you, it should be fairly cheap to have someone do it for you.
Good Luck
