I have an oil leak from the rear of the engine on my GT3, what are the common areas it would leak here? I am thinking the rear crank seal, but looking up there with a mirror I don't see a lot of oil around the pulley. 2004 GT3, 26k miles.

Likely the "front" main seal. Andy did a nice writeup here-

Thanks for the link, that helps a TON!!! I am ordering parts to do this job....I am confused on the crank pulley bolt...there are 3 different ones listed in PET. I believe my car has the RS pulley...solid with 2 holes...PO had RS-4.0 clutch, PP and flywheel installed and I assume they went to the RS pulley with this as that seems to be required. Any idea which crank pulley bolt is the correct one I need to order?

I completed the job today. My car has a GT3-RS pulley (and clutch) on the car so I found that the correct bolt is 993-102-550-81 with washer 999-025-174-01 and special thin spacer for behind the pulley 996-102-203-90. I torqued the bolt to 160 ft lbs with a drop of blue locktite. As stated in the thread above I saw references that said the torque is 126-185 ft lbs so I went with a number in the middle and a little locktite.

I posted more tips on it in the writeup referenced above: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-gt2-...l#post15243475
