The front is simple. If memory serves it doesn't even have a gasket, just RTV. Degrease the motor before you start and get as much gunk off as possible and let it dry. Remove all the bolts and pry off the cover. Use a razor blade and scrap off the remaining RTV left on the head. Wipe both surfaces clean and apply the RTV to the cover, and bolt it back on. Make sure you dont over tighten the bolts other wise it will develop another leak.
