Anyone have a pulley lock and/or front seal puller I can borrow?

Are you reasonably sure they are/might be the problem?  That's a lot of 
work if they're not.  More likely culprits to check, you ask?  From the 
easy, cam cover gasket overtorqued, to the pains, like timing belt cover 
bolts missing/loose (some go into oilways), and if your car has it, the 
oil temp sender in the bottom of the oil pump is a known leaker.  I even 
suspect the A/C bracket bolts of being a tiny leak source on one of my cars.

Have you cleaned everything to you could eat off it and then tried to 
see where the "fresh" oil is leaking from?

Just trying to save you trouble... good luck!
