Donbrew, please correct me if I'm mistaken...

To replace the seal behind the harmonic balancer one would only need the front crank seal (356), bolt & washer (428 & 429)...correct?
Please advise if additional items are needed/advised.
I intend to rent the harmonic balancer lockout tool for free from a local auto-parts store.
Also, thank you to everyone for their help and input thus far and in the future.
This is a truly fantastic forum.

You're right, if that's all you need.

I told about that oil slinging. The seal can be replaced with the front cover in place.

Yup. Once I pulled all that plastic out of the way it was easy to identify.
I've since cleaned the area up and am driving it a bit with the fender liner off to see where any new leakage can be spotted.

A new driver, tensioner, bolt, and seal have arrived and I'm looking for a rental tool to hold the balancer in place. If I can't find one, I might just buy one for $60 and resell it.

If I can find the tool I'll have it fixed before the weekend. If not, I'll fix it next week. It might get 100 miles on it, tops, before getting fixed.
I left the plastic panel of so I can monitor it closely.

I don't have good luck and it's my daily driver so I'll wait for the tool.
