Has an oil leak, front of the engine towards the bottom. It's not dripping but the area is caked with oil wetness and mud. UT vids led me to suspect crankshaft seal needs replaced. Problem is when I search for the part on RA, Amazon, AZ, etc. all are giving me different parts (as in the part itself, not just the part number). Heck I am so confused. Which is the correct part number? Should I also replace the camshaft seal? I will be replacing the radiator due to a leak, TStat, serp. belt, idler, tensioner. Thought with the rad out might as well take care of the oil leak.
