oil leak advice

[helderteixeira]

I have an oil leak from the picture below, is this the auxiliary shaft oil seal? can it be removed without taking out the timing belt cover? is it a big job?
really appreciate any advice. Thank you.

unfortunately yeah, now it's leaking a bit 0.5 liters/200 km. Jesus, need to take the engine out for a small seal . ... think that need to go over the UK.
It's not possible to take it out from the outside? or does it only goes in, into place from the inside of the timing belt?

After some research, I think it's possible from some videos that I have watched, to remove it "easily" the question is: I can drive like it is for the moment, I hope not to make it worse. Because if so long way distance to tow over the UK. Thank you for all the inputs.
So sorry that in here I can't find anyone to "properly" work on the Tuscan.

Last story:
Bought the decats 50€, went the 2 mechanics: they asked 350 euros to remove them and they need the best mechanic to learn to work on the car a 4 hours job they said. "This kind of car we need to learn how to work on it, since it's a TVR 100€/hour" straight in my mind, I was saying: ok I will charge you 300€ to let your mechanic learn on my car. So I will do it myself.

Hi,
After a closer look, it seems that the oil seal was recently replaced. Does the screw comes out alone or together with the pulley? It's so rusty when I have tried to undo the screw, the head of the screw will break. Can the pulley and the screw be replaced in situ? He oil leak is coming from the oil seal, I think is because the pulley is so rusty that can end up damaging the oil seal, looking around it seems that oil seal have no marks... But the oil is coming out from the lower position from the oil seal. What's the best approach?
