Post Cam to MFI pully seal leak

I have a 1973 911T 2.4L MFI. The drivers side of the engine has developed a slight leak from what appears to be the area behind where the MFI pully attaches to the camshaft. I guess there is a very technical name for this seal, I can't find it anywhere. I know that to replace this seal I have to drop the drivers side heat exchanger, mark the pully where it mounts to the gear and pull the seal out. The problem is I can not find this seal anywhere. I asked this question awhile back and other members told me they had also replaced this seal, but no one was able to give me a part number for the seal or a hint where I can buy one.
Sure could use some help here. I have parked my car for the winter and plan to start some long overdue projects. This oil leak, and the bad starter are the first two.
Thanks,
Scott HArris

call Engine Builders Supply..they should be able to sort that seal for you reasonably..and I happen to know Jon had a MFI 911 back in the day..so he should know exactly what seal it is.

I contacted Jon at Engine Builders Supply. He had the seal and at a fraction of what I would have had to pay for the whole kit just to get that seal. $12.50 for a Porsche seal on a 30 year old MFI motor is about FANTASTIC. I'll have the seal by Saturday. I highly recommend this company for your hard to find seals and engine parts.
