replace the seal, it's not hard to do. I replaced mine last year as it was starting to weep a bit.
where did you get your seal? what did you have to do to get the seal out? i still have the water pump and radiator in and i was hoping to not have to pull those out.

bad news dude, you gotta take them off. set your engine up on TDC, mark the belt against the pulleys in at least 2 places on each pulley. pop the plate off & press out the old seal & press another back in. it's a common seal I bought at an engineering shop. line the dots up on the belt & your pulleys so your timing is back in the same spot. tighten everything & recheck, put the pump back on with the damper & you're done. if you have a press or large vice the job should only take 2 hours.

ok thanks man. when I first put it together I replace the seal that i got from an engineering shop that specializes in seals, so I wasn't sure if there was a more specific seal I need to get. this seal only has about 800 miles max on it, so I am not sure why it is leaking. looks like i'll plan on pulling the front of the engine a part soon.

has your block been line bored? if it has there's a good chance of a leak since the centerlines will be closer than manufacturers specs. ask me how I know.
yes... so what do I have to do to fix this inaccurate factory production problem? ha
