Oil Leak

Just noticed today i have an oil leak and upon further inspection located the leak to the RVM UNderdrive pulley installed 3 months ago. Seems I need a new Crank seal. Since the search function doesn't want to let me use it today, can anyone recall the part number of the seal? I was hoping to get one at Napa instead of Nissan and I am not sure if I need a specific aftermarket seal or what. Thanks in advance for all the help.

That sucks. That would be a MAJOR deciding factor for choosing a pulley.

How difficult is replacing the crank seal? Sounds like a real ***** to me.

Well.. You just need to pry it out and pop a new one back in. It's kind of a b!tch to do because the seal is hard @ss rubber
