weird oil leak

if you able to get the front cover off, replacing the gasket is like replacing any other flat mating surface gasket (not much to it) need to get everything clean, clean, clean. The hardest part is getting the main pullies off and making sure that you have the thrust bearing properly aligned and inplace when everything goes back together or you might be possibly looking at major damage. Just try to get a metal replacement and don't forget that there is an o-ring and a teflon retaining ring for the oil passage in the middle of the front cover.
