#1 this thread is like 2 years old

#2 shayrob - no you do not have to remove the front cover. you may have to remove the fan and shroud for clearance. otherwise, all you have to do is:

-jack up the front of the car. slacken all the accessory belts. leave the car in 5th gear, ebrake up, rear tires on the ground.
-take off the gigantic bolt on the front crank pulley using a huge socket and huger breaker bar.
-pull the crank pulley off with a pulley puller.
-use a screw driver or flip the arms on the puller and pull out the old seal.
-put in the new one.
-put everything back. don't forget to torque down the crank pulley bolt to spec and retighten all your belts.
-enjoy your new non-leaky car.

#3 pignose, it's really common. but if it's not leaking, there's no need to fix it. if you diagnosed your leak as the pressure switch and fixed it, you're fine.
