Verify my oil leak

Verify my oil leak
I cleaned the area behind the UDP and below, and oil is definitely leaking from behind there. I'm pretty sure it's coming from the curved part of the oil pan. So the curved gasket is where it commonly leaks from? Can someone verify that curved gasket is leaking based on this pic:

The black line looking through the UDP hole is where it's leaking from.
Thanks!!

The Crank seal is easily replaced after removing the UDP right? It looked pretty easy on the 'how to' link.
Thanks for the help.

If you look at the lower two openings on the UDP, you see a black line following the curve of the sealed area. Thats where the oil is leaking from and I can see the RTV on the corner.

No screw driver. This might help, although I have not tried myself.

I don't know where the main seal is.
Just got hold of an impact gun. I'll be pulling the crank pulley this weekend and take some pics. I'll be sure to know what's acutally leaking, crank seal, upper pan seal or both. What ever it is, it leaks pretty bad and I'm taking care of it.
Thanks.

There is some oil residue there, but it could just be thrown up from the oil pan seal leak, which is what appears to be the main leak.
As far as seperating the pan, a rubber maller, prybar, and some luck. Those things can stick on there pretty damn well. As long as you don't cut a 2 inch deep groove in the side, small gouges in the sealing surface generally will not lead to leaks.

When I broke the pulley bolt loose, a bunch of oil shot out from under the flared nut part of the bolt. Is that normal?
Please tell me all I have to replace is the half moon seals and front oil seal? I think I can deal with replacing those but anything more, I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it.
Thanks!!
