Crankshaft pulley seal leak?

I was replacing my belt and water pump and noticed a lot of oil around the pulley below. This is from the crankshaft fully seal? How much of a rush should I be in to fix this.? It's not dripping on the driveway no noticeable low level and dipstick. I don't feel like taking everything apart again for a while and sucks I will have to buy new motor mount bolts again.
Many times the cause of the crank seal failure is the failure of the PCV valve in the intake manifold. This causes the block to over pressurize damaging the seal and more than likely other gaskets. I would look into this if you have not installed a fix kit yet..
 
Thank you for confirming. I thought I read that somewhere. Don't wanna blow me new seal. This kit doesn't look to hard to do..is everyone in agreement that these kits are legit good way to go?

Yes
