I have discovered an oil leak recently (right after my Crank Pulley Install). I did some searching and have found that the Front Main seal is probably my problem. THe oil pan is clean and has no leaks, the Valve cover gasket is new and is not leaking. My questions are....1) How much does a Front Main Seal usually run?
2) It kind of looks like the leak is coming from a location higher than the crank pulley and a little more toward the front of the car (95 200SX SE-R), are there any other seals or places that could be causing this leak?
Thanks!

If I remember ..they run about $8 bucks or so..
there is also the front engine cover there and possibly the oil filter boss.or even the oil filter itself could be leaking..just a few things to check

True that. I have always seen it recommended to get a new front seal when changing pullies. I got mine for about $6.

Sounds like the front crank seal is leaking. The reason you are finding oil a little higher and to the right is because it is being thrown by the spinning of the crank pulley.
A Nissan factory seal will cost you about $8.00 and if you get someone to do the work for you, the labor should be about one (1) hour.

i got mine for $4 and some change, mine was leaking to the point where it would drain the car, and the oil was found higher than the pulley like stated earlier from being thrown, thats what stumped me for a while, but that sounds like thats your problem...
