    if it was leaking on the far snout side then your belt would be flinging it everywhere.

    Not really, I mean, it could just be seeping down the snout. I've seen it several times. If it's a severe leak, then it will get on the pulley and fling it everywhere.

    The snout seal itself isn't hard to replace at all. Getting the pulley off is the hardest part. I sell the snout seals for $10 shipped if you or someone you know has a puller.

    it could be anything really...what does it smell/look like? If it is your snout leaking let me know I have a bookmark on a write-up on how to change it.
