Busted seal

For a while now I knew I had a small leak in the, "Front seal" -Mechanic, well today it busted completely and will no hold any oil at all. My question is: When the mechanic said the "front seal" did he mean the front crankshaft seal or is there another seal near my oil pan that I need to replace... He described it as; the oil pump line to seal. Whats the correct name for this? I want to replace my timing belt while im down there and I know that tricky so how do I make sure I replace it correctly, where do I mark it? What gaskets will I need? I am also replacing my water pump since its right there. HELP! And thanks in advance!

I would assume he is talking about the crank seal

Got it all fixed as of today, it was my crank seal along with my actual main seal leaking on my oil pump. I replaced my water pump, cleaned my oil pan and pump, all new belts, new tensionar, and some new misc seals. Also threw on some Eibach front and back sway bars. Car is running perfect now!

Ha sorry man! I live in Texas if that helps at all! It's really not that hard to do, you may want to try to do it yourself if money is an issue. PM me if you want details on how to do it all.
