see post Oil pump/timing chain overhaul/ aftermarket gauge instal for pix of what is involved around the front cover seal, also download the free RAVE set of tech manuals if you don't have them, see below for link.

The RAVE manual should have clear drawings and write up on it. Note that other members have posted that they had success on small leaks with the White Shepard Oil Leak product where gaskets are involved. Many Rover things are sealed with hylomar (spelling?) similar to RTV.
