First lets start off to say today i looked under my car and there is what looked like some oil on my lower raidator hose. also it looks like there is some kind grime stuff possibly old oil around the crank on the front of the oil pan. also what are the two lines behind the air compressor and behind the lower raditor hose? i had a little bit of what looked like oil on that. A drop was hanging off but the lines were soaked. so if my crank seal is leaking is it hard to change or even worth it? also i have not seen any oil on the ground that is noticable yet. One other thing i noticed is my overflow bottle could be leaking is it possilbe that that so could be leaking out and runnig down the side and get dirt on it making it look like oil? and answer this question how does my overflow bottle get all wet on top when i dry and it off and drive around for a couple of days pop the hood and it is wet on top.
Btw the engine is a L98 carb

 

Lots of questions, lets see... On the crank seal, if you have a 86 or later L98 then you have a one piece oil pan gasket, so you can't effectively replace that seal without pulling the whole pan off which is not worth it unless the engine is gonna absolutely die if it's not fixed. The lines behind the compressor? If you mean the ones that attach to the compressor then that's the AC lines. They shouldn't be leaking oil. You probably mean the tranny cooler lines and it's more likely that they would leak. One of the lines goes right by your lower radiator hose into the radiator, and the other one goes into the radiator up higher. The AC lines would go into your condenser instead, which is in front of the radiator. These two lines are right beside each other.
