Timing Gear Cover Leaking

Just in the passed week my car started leaking oil, it used to leak zero. I found it was coming from the front of the engine, first thoughts were front mian seal, but after looking harder it's actually coming from the timing gear cover and runing down the front side of the motor. Has anyone ever had this problem? How hard is it to replace the Timing gear cover seal? thanks

to replace the seal you would have to remove the balancer, WP, opti, drop the oil pan, remove the front cover. not a small job by no means. but not really a hard one. It would make it easyer to remove the Radiator for more clearance.

Or you could clean it real good and put some RTV around where it is leaking from on pray it stops it.
