you can still drive it unless it leaking really bad. the pulley has to come off it has a bolt but you usually have to use a puller to get it off even with the bolt out. you can get the seal at any parts store. i call it a crank pulley seal.

Water pump isn't hard to do, just have to be careful with the bolts or they've been known to snap and pain to get out if they do.
