Oil creep n seep 87 TD

There's some oil seeping from the front of my engine, it looks like it's coming from either around the Vac Pump or some place on the front if not both. is there a gasket/seal that goes in any of these places that can be fixed or will it have to look like Aunt Flo is visiting my poor engine?

you are going to have to clean it very well,then monitor it closely until you determine just where it is leaking from.Since it is not an old GM diesel all leaks can be fixed some are more trouble and $$$$ than they are worth,others can be just a matter of replacing a gasket or o ring. Don

It looks like it's a combo Job. When I had the Relay rebuilt they cleaned up the engine, and it looks like it's coming from the bottom of the vacuum pump and maybe a front crank seal.. the vac pump seal is the easy one... the front crank one sounds like a pain in the tukus to fix judging by the looks of the amount of junk they'd have to take off....
