Re: oil leaking
Notnowles - I just finished my water pump and timing belt.
I also had oil (more like grease) all behind the lower back cover. I had the same thought process you had. Should I change the main crank seal while I'm at it or let it go. I decided to let it go because I park it in the garage and have never seen a drop of oil on the floor. The car has 150K on it and at the mileage I couldn't get squat for it anyway on a trade. Even if I got a drop of oil every so often, I could live with it. Heck, the oil pan will leak again before the main seal (I already replaced the oilpan gasket twice).
