my car is leaking hella oil at the front of engine and im sure it may be the crankseal. been watching several vids but im still a bit unsure on the proper removal of the bolt and gear. Should i leave belt on and remove? also which direction do i turn to loosen? U turn the bolt clockwise to line up for tdc....so same direction to loosen w more pressure? Or opposite? Im a noob but im confident i can replace..

 

Crank bolt is right hand thread. Lefty-Loosey, righty tighty.
If you plan on doing this, continue to do you homework reviewing prior writeups. You'll need to put engine in service position, & will need to remove timing belt, among other things. If you're going this far, you'll be needing the proper tools. Set of torx & socket head sockets . Since you're pulling TB, then need to get crank lock pin, cam lock bar, & 2 jaw sprocket puller.
Other sources of front oil leak could be valve cover, tensioner (on DS), cam seals, or even power steering line leak.
