depends which end. there is a crank oilseal at the timing belt and gearbox end.
if its the g.box end, remove the box and flywheel and its easy from there.

is it definately engine oil?
I had a lad bring me his car once for a crank oil seal (corsa) and I was about to remove the g.box etc... when I noticed that it was actually coming from the speedo sender hole and dripping down. it looked like black engine oil but it was actually gearbox oil. oil usually drips down here because its the lowest point on the engine.

ok, i did the speedo sensor a while ago and while the head is off i will double check that it is secure as that is a bugger to get good leaverage on that thing.
thanks
