crank seal anyone, help.

I think my crank seal is leaking, there is oil on the bottom of my car, I can't figure out where it's coming from, my valve aren't leaking, already changed the seals there, there is oil dripping off me power steering pump and the bottom of my engine is covered with oil from my tranny/oil pann, p/s pump. Can't figure out where it's leaking from, thinking about changing the oil pan and the p/w steering pump along with the oil pan seal, But does anyone know how to pull the crank seal off and install a new one . Didn't change it last time I was in the because I was told it would have to be pressed in , Any suggestions on how to get it out without jacking it up, Later , any suggestions will be welcome

I just replaced a cam seal on my car. Wasn't too hard of a job, but I had the engine on the ground at the time (drilling out and replacing those dreaded manifold studs). You might find some useful info in my little write-up posted on this nissanx thread

If its not too bad, let it just bleed and wait, there will become a need to take angine out. Or no need = crash...

If the drops are a menace, install diapers, thats what girliedoggies must have...

Oil is cheap.
