Where is front main seal and how to replace it?
I am guessing it is in the area of the crankshaft pulley, but I am not sure where. I don't think the leak I have is coming from the oil pan. I just changed the oil today and drove from Jersey to Baltimore (about 100 miles), and sure enough after the car settled and the oil pressure went back down, there were oil spots on the ground. I'm not the most mechanically inclined but if someone knows where the seal is, can give specifics on how to get to the seal and what tools are needed, I can fix it.

Soon as you pull of the crank pulley you will see the front main seal. The seal is pressed into the timing cover. You just need basic tools to pull all the splash guards off. As for the crank pulley bolt, im forgot the metric size, sorry. I needed an impact to remove mine. You dont need an air impact gun, you can use an electric gun, although air is preferable.

Okay so I guess that means pulling off the passenger wheel? Sounds straightforward enough.
