I'll give that a shot, thank you.

Replaced Oil Filter (obviously changed oil) and the Oil Pan Gasket and ran it for about 20 minutes. Oil leak is definitely coming from the Timing Cover Gasket or Crankshaft Seal. I don't have the tools to do that unfortunately so I'll be calling some buddies to see if they can give me a hand. After that's fixed I can start the paint job and rest of the tune up and then save for the mods...

Shouldn't be too many tools involved to remove the front cover... basic tools, just a lot of time

My tool inventory consists of a crappy socket set and then basic wrenches/screwdrivers/vice grips. My entire tool box was stolen when I lived in Minneapolis. I watched a video on easy removal of the timing cover and front seal, I think all I need is a breaker bar and I'll be good.

You will need a puller for the damper can be borrowed from many parts stores [auto zone Oreilys ETC.]also when re assembling be sure to use a sensor safe RTV sealer.

Will do, I've never done this specific job before so I'll be doing a ton of research before diving in blind.
