Front Main (Crankshaft) Seal replacement
Hello all,
Looks like I'm getting oil dripping out of the small hole at the bottom of the lower timing belt cover (95 civic EX), guessing that it is most likely the front main seal. I've never had to replace one of these before. Besides getting everything off to get the crankshaft pulley removed, what needs to be done from there?
Thanks for any input guys (and gals)...

If you're sure it's not coming from the oil pan gasket, then do everything you said, carefully pull out the old seal, grease up the new seal and tap it in using a socket on the outer edge of the seal.
