What seals are prone or likely to go on the front cover? I have a pretty healthy leak that seems to be coming from the front cover near the OMP and travels up around the crank pulley. I have oil splatter on backside of the pulley and on the surrounding housing. I am 100% sure it is not oil retun line or turbo oil feed line leaking. Also, if you had experienced a similiar leak, what all did it involve? Is there anything else worth replacing while dug that low? Thanks for your help and tips!

you have a front cover seal, and you have a front main seal...sounds like either

 

You might want to talk to Pettit about what else to replace. It is a $1200 job for a $15 gasket. You have to pull most everything off the front of the motor. I believe the OMP lines are worth replacing if they are brittle.

 

let me see,front cover has,
front main seal
cover gsk
oil meter o-ring
oil metering lines
turbo drain gaskets
oil pan gsk
main pulley bolt gsk

 

becareful when you pick up that front cover gasket. its made out of thin cardboardish type of material. when i went to go pick one up at the parts/dealer. he broke it infront of my face putting it in a bag. just becareful with it.

 

If oil is on the back of the pulley it is most likely the front main seal.

 

I did this job, its not that difficult since all if not most of the information on how to do it is somewhere in this forum or the other.

just take your time...
