Just want to point out that on the 2.3/2.5 Limas, a leaking oil pump can easily be misdiagnosed as a front crank seal, as that is what I originally thought I had before tearing off the timing cover. 

Oil pumps on these are "cartridge" style that slide into the front of the block. 

I documented it 6 years ago here:
