After a hard drive, I see smoke and smell oil. I figure it's the cam seal (pass. side).
How difficult is this to replace? Do I need to pull the engine? How long will it take?

Not very hard. Remove the radiator, belts, timing covers. Replace timing belt/adjuster and water pump while your at it. Replace all front seals.BAC5.2 wrote:After a hard drive, I see smoke and smell oil. I figure it's the cam seal (pass. side).

I use a awl (sharp pointy tool). I dig into the oil seal and get under the metal structure on the seal. This way your not prying against any part of the block or head.
How are your valve cover gaskets?
You can complete this in an afternoon. I give it a 5 out of 10 on hardness scale.
