V6 Crank Seal Leak

I noticed a fresh sheen of some liquid (originally thought it was a leaky waterpump) down around the main crank pulley when I replace my serpentine belt at 60k. This wasn't there when I did the 55k service and since there wasn't a whole lot leaking I thought Id keep an eye on it and see if it continued. 2k miles later the wet oily residue had spread a bit, still not dripping but noticeable. Took it in this morning and the dealer diagnosed it as a crank seal, my platinum warranty covers it and a loaner Camry (bleh) for the day. They said it would take a few hours to fix so Im not sure if it was something I could have done myself. Anyone ever run in to this issue before?

I just had mine done yesterday, I'm at 127,000 mi on an 03 V6. From the time they called to tell me they found the leak to the time they called and said it was done was about 2hrs. I was wondering how hard of a job it was myself.
