BTW - you'll hardly see ANYTHING from the top of the passenger side unless you take the air cleaner off.

I figured that if it's leaking at the bottom end of the crankshaft seal, the combination of the fan rotating clockwise (lower end toward the passenger side) and the air blowing from driving would potentially cause the leaky oil to end up mostly on the passenger side of the engine. The passenger wheel rim had thick grease all on the inside, too.
After the crankshaft seal is done, I will see if there are any more oil leaks (running or off) and will then consider washing things to further diagnose if that's the case.
