2.4 oil leak

Neither. If it is the crankshaft seal, the trans will have to come out. Take a good look at the camshaft sensor located on the left of the cylinder head (drivers side) and make sure the o-ring that seals the sensor isn't leaking down that side of the engine. If you aren't sure have an engine oil dye test performed on it to locate the leak.

I checked the cam sensor. Looks like there is only one for the *front* cam, and not the rear. Anyway, there does not appear to be any leaks, so I am guessing it must be the rear oil seal.

So it looks like the transmission must come out, along with the flex plate. In addition, a special tool is needed to remove and re-install the one-piece seal. Anything else I should know before finding a place that can do this for me? I will have them put dye in the oil just to make sure, before proceeding.

Thanks,

Nope that's about it. But a dye test will prevent a shop from guessing at the leak
