Basically I have the same problem as this guy here, leaking oil from Crankshaft on front of motor!!! please help fix! - Ford Ranger Forum

Except, my truck is a 01' 3.0 and its leaking much worse. What I need to know is what all parts can I expect to replace while fixing this? Also does the water pump need to come off as well? I know I need the crankshaft oil seal, More Information for TIMKEN 2692 ?? are there any other parts that come off I'm going to need gaskets for? Also what tools am i going to need? just a harmonic balance puller? anything else special?

 

It would be nice to have everything I need before I start tearing into it this weekend. Anyone have any advice here?

 

Well I got the timing cover gasket, water pump gasket, and new oil seal in a kit from napa, guess I'll figure this out on my own in the morning...
