'96 C220, engine 111.
Finally got 'er running again after replacing exhaust camshaft and valves, head gasket and timing chain. ( I broke the camshaft due to improper timing chain tensioner installation) I let 'er idle a few minutes to check for any leaks. I was so happy that no leaks came from the head. I thought I had it made. Then I looked under the engine. A flowing oil leak was dripping off the oil pan. First it looked to be from around the water pump but that was just splatter from the crankshaft pulley.
Question>> Is this oil seal replacable from the outside? Or does the oil pan need to come off? On my Chevy the oil pan comes off and there it is. Is it like that? I looked at all the stuff in the way of lowering the pan and it doesn't look quick and easy. Someone please help me.

yes it is safe to take it off. just put some sealant on it or replace the gasket and put it back . this happened to me on 1999 clk 430 . take the belt off to make it easy on your self
SOURCE: Broken crankshaft pully, need to know how to remove to replace
Normally...three bolts for the pulley assembly, and one large center bolt, and yes...a steering wheel puller will work, but make sure the puller doesn't sit into the center hole threads, or they will be destroyed. Sometimes a nut in here will prevent that.

IF U BROKE THIS BELT WHILE DRIVING U HAVE BENT THE VALVES IN THE ENGINE, THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED AN INTERFERENCE DESIGN ENGINE, THAT MEANS WHEN THE TIMING BELT BREAKS THE PISTONS HIT THE ENGINES VALVES

I did some more looking... By looking through the spokes of the Crankshaft pulley with the engine running (with the fan removed), just below the crankshaft seal and a smidgen to the right is a hole. A hole the size and shape of a sunflower seed. At first glance I assumed it might be a ...I dunno... a vent hole? It almost looks like it might have been created by something "shearing it from the inside. I think I can see the aluminum is "ripped" With the engine running, the oil kind of bubbles out at first, then begins to drip, which then goes to the pulley, then begins to whip and blow around by the fan all over the entire compartment.
Question>> Is this hole supposed to be here? (ie: Cast in) If not, should I plug 'er up with some metal epoxy putty?
