   Got an oil leak and it looks like its coming from the crankshaft pulley area, is this common on the 8v's?

   It'll either be the Crankshaft oil seal or the Gearbox 'input shaft oil seal' AKA 'guide bush seal'
   
   If your guide bush seal has just started leaking out of the blue then expect to need either another gearbox or your current box refurbed. Input shaft bearings will likely to be in need of replacing.
