Ok, the crank seal is not leaking, therefore I will leave it alone as this was replaced by the dealer during a pressure plate failure 2 1/2 years ago.

However, the cover for the IMS is seeping oil and I am trying to figure out how to replace the O-ring on the cover (without removing the bearing since it's an 07)..

My issue is that I have a BBI underdrive pulley that does not have the notch to show you TDC, it is a must to lock the crank at TDC in order to safely remove the IMS cover,
what else besides locking the crank at TDC is required (without messing anything else)..?

The pictures show the oil leak of 2 1/2 years, therefore is not too severe
