Front Crank Seal

Front Crank Seal 95 ATX

I replaced the rod berrings last month.
As of yesterday i noticed smoke from burning oil coming out of my right side fenderwell after a 20 min warm up.

I went under it while it was running to see oil being dripped on to the cat. coming from what I can tell is the lower front crak seal/oil pan.

I took her to my mecanic who also looked at it and said I need a front crank seal. We went into his office and looked it up on ALL DATA and it showed my seal to have a total of 3 seals on it front,middle and rear all about an inch apart from each other.
I have looked at the past threads and I dont see anytrhing about 3 seal there only one.
If its only one and I dont have to remove the oil pan then i will do it myself (I hope)..

I had replaced the timing belt and water pump 6 months ago.

There is only one front main seal. There are 3 cam seals also, they are on the same side as the front main but they are high on the engine.

Mitchell is correct, there is one crank seal, and three cam seals. Either of these could be the cause of the problem, along with a leaking valve cover seal (less likely).
