Any auto parts store, like NAPA can order you one. Or you can get it thru the dealership.

my wild guess, timing belt change out?
or valve lash or , no matter it's all here.

this is the G16B engine,
this full timing belt page, is here. and has link to actual FSM page.

which seal. ? rear of WHAT?
2wd, 4wd?
3sp,4speed or 5sp. tranny.?
my wild guess, is the rear transfer case leaks, and if yes, where.?
it can leak in 3 places. (ive rebuilt them and the boxes)

or the rear engine seal.

so the rear seal can be, in 3 places.
if you work on 4wd, it really can be 5 places.
6 counting rear of front axle.
that is because the exit paths are shared on many.

first tell me what you are driving like this.
97 geo 2dr, 5sp 4wd. like that, then we can answer in fine detail.

This is the link to the DIY website for the 1997 Geo Tracker http://www.automotix.net/autorepair/diy/1997-geo-tracker-repair.html

You can get a wiring diagram off this site or got to you local auto supply house such as NAPA and buy a Repair manual for about 25.00.

Hope this helps you out and please rate/vote or place a testimonial on my advice.

check cap, check coil (OHM)

If you aren't a pretty good shade tree mechanic I don't recommend you try it. You need a seal removal tool and if you have to be very careful not to scratch the crankshaft when removing the seal. If you have had the head replaced lately I can tell you that you may have the head gasket on wrong causing the pressure to build up at the crank seal! You have to remove the timing belt and belt gear to get to the seal.

remove the gearbox ,then the flywheel ,no quick cuts ,or what often works when selling an old car and that to put in a tin of auto tranmission leak sealer in the engine oil ,it makes the seals swell up .

three or four nuts on the strut tower to come off, then where it ties into the steering knuckle a spring compressor will be needed to take the mount/bearing off
