The rear seal leaks into the bellhousing, so you'd find oil there. The front
seal leaks onto the crank, which slings it everywhere. There is a sleeve
available for the crank to correct a worn crankshaft when replacing the
seal. Apparently the seal can wear a groove into the crank deep enough that
a new seal will leak almost immediately.

hey ive been trying to track my oil leak on my 83 toy. It has an 86 22r
and leaks look really similar to yours. The only thing is the top of my
tranny is wet with oil. I have new rear and front crandshaft seals, oil
pan, valve cover. I believe its leaking out of the head, but not sure,
there a back plate on the head that im not sure what its purpose is but it
might be that, I go through 3 or 4 quarts in about 200 miles. I can let
is sit there and idel all day and it wont leak but it only seams to leak
when I am driving at higher speeds. I wish i new what the hell it was. I
am going to retorqe the head bolts to see if that will help.
