Front crank seal repair kit
Anyone ever install one before? …as I remember the front seal actually seals on crank pulley and this thin metal seal goes on seal surface of the pulley. I have never put one on anything before but I would assume heat it in oil so it will expand enough you can quickly slide it on.
Think my pulley has groove worn in it.

I guess you mean in the front cover. Front harmonic balancers usually have a groove or 2 for throwing oil back. I don't know what soaking in oil might accomplish, maybe a film of oil.
The oil pump is on the other side.

Thats the seal Im talking about but the seal repair kit wont be in manual…but Rockauto does list one for it. It has a thin metal sleeve that you heat up so it will expand so you can slide it on into place and hold till temps normalize. Kind of re-surface for seal area…in this case the surface is on the crank pulley

Im thinking maybe clean the balancer up good an sneak it in wifes freezer when she aint looking….put the sleeve in the oven on about 400-500F for while….should just drop on there or at least be lot easier going on

You need to determine the leak, gloves in the harmonic balancer , cheap crap seal? I found that FelPro seals leak, OEM GM originals don’t.
no need to soak the seal just apply to the seal, GM seal comes pre greased leave the green protection disc in place . Push the seal into the front cover , and reassemble

About 99% sure coming from timing cover seal and pulley slinging it up on bottom of accessory belt tensioner arm. I washed it all off couple weeks ago….took it a while for any to be seen but its back now keeping that side of the car from rusting…lol
