Might, or probably, is the crank seal that's behind the pickup's plate. Pull the plate to confirm. I know that someone in the past here, was able to replace this seal without too much difficulty. Try a search using (without quotation marks) "crank seal fjowners.com" using the Google search engine to maybe find the thread. You may need a different descriptor other than "crank seal" to find the thread. Or maybe someone else will step up to the plate, and offer up their procedure to replace said seal.
