Crank seal

The one right behind the pulley. Anyone have to replace that? It looks like mines leaking. I also have a powersteering leak. Looks like the hoses coming off of the pump. Common problem?

I have the crankseal leak. Haven't fixed it yet though - I have a lot of other things to do first. From what I understand, you just remove the belts, remove the pulley, pick out the seal, tap in the new one.

The powersteering stuff likes to leak at the hose connections. Loosen each of those hose clamps and reposition them on 'fresh' hose rubber. Tighten. Leakage solved for another 150k.

Yeah I understand the proceedure, I'm re-installing my underdrive pulley soon so I just wanted to know how many others have replaced the seal.. Thanks for the input though.
