Crank Seal? Which one?! Help!

I have a 95SE.

I have a minor oil leak, mech. suspects that I need to replace the crank seal. Ok, so, can anyone tell me which part this would be on Courtesy Parts? or another site where I can grab one off of? There are so many various seals so i want to make sure I get the right one. Sorry for the noobness on this one.

*The leak is from the passenger side / up (forward towards front of car) a bit behind the wheel, near the belts. Somewhere in there. If this helps. All he told me was Crank Seal needs to be replaced. Exact words.

You need to ask him. It could mean the front crank seal in the timing cover, or the RMS.

Where exactly are you leaking oil from? Driver's side, passenger's, or in the middle?

Wait, what? You link to the 4AT overhaul gasket set, but you say crank seal? Are we talking an oil leak, or ATF leak?

Thanks pmohr! Always a great help.

And to anyone, my mechanic said he'd do this for $100 labor, is this a decent price do any of you think for this part to be replaced?

I guess it's not a terrible price, considering you've got to remove all the belts, the crank pulley, and IIRC the passenger's side wheel as well.
