mike i think your right, i have had the car in my garage changing the
alternator (hard to find used) which by the way fell right on my fuckin
face...when i noticed a puddle of oil right below the crank seal. and yes,
its pretty bad.
leaks when not running, argg!

never owning an import before, and asking with just a cursory check, how
hard is it to change the front seal?

If you have the VG30E engine, it is a lot of work. Best saved for when
you replace the timing belt, at which time it is quite simple.
