can't find a front oil seal

My front main on my 93 rx7 is leaking bad! I cannot locate a new one anywhere. Does anyone know a good source? I found plenty of rear mains, but no front. Thanks!

Make SURE that's what's leaking, it's a royal pain to do with the motor in the car and they rarely leak.

well, the car sat for a few years. i got it startedafter some new plugs and wires. in idle it's fine, but when i rev it up, it's a steady stream flowing out from behind the crank pulley. What else could it be?

Consider re-installing with a metal front cover gasket rather than the standard orange plastic one.

This also might be of interest....
