You are right on the money. P/s pump is not lubricated with oil, but just uses the ps fluid. OK, in your first post, you described the leak as coming from the timing chain cover seal above the p/s pump. i was hoping to come up with leak sources that could be showing oil in that location and not require removing the timing chain cover! According to book, engine should come out for this, but it can be done with engine in car (with difficulty).
If your crank seal or pump seals are leaking, you should see oil behind the big crank pulley and on the back of the pulley itself if oil is being slung around. You really need to get under the car with a light to see where the oil is coming from. You still might try the Bearin seal, but be sure to keep an eye on this area for leaks. If they come back it's time for new seals. it's about 2 1/2 hours labor for a pro(diy 1st time-all day) and you might as well replace the pulley at the same time as the crack and oil pump seals. When the seals leak, the oil rots the pulley's rubber donut and the pulley can then grind into the engine causing total loss of oil pressure. Other items when the patient is open are: the water pump, alternator lower arm bushings, alternator bushings, and new belts. There are lots of posts describing the ordeal and the makeshift special tools.
