Oil leaks, need help

Oil leaks, need help
I have a 69 442 400 that was rebuilt a few years ago and has some oil leak issues. The engine is pulled and I want seal it up.
It appears that I have a front seal leak for sure (around crank). Can I replace the seal without pulling the timing cover?
Also having problems at the oil filter or filter housing and with the manifold in the front corners. The oil filter housing seal looks like an easy replacement.
The manifold is a bit of a mystery. The builder used a Fel Pro 1356 but used right stuff in place of the front and rear seals. 2nd time and still not sealed up. Also light rtv around the coolant ports.
Hoping to get some advice as I am sick of these oil leaks.
Thanks,
Andy

I went out and bought grade 8.8 bolts for the intake too. knock on wood, it's been almost 3 years now. Now I'll drive home tonight and it'll leak like a sieve.
