Change front main seal , leaking oil around timing
yes, I just changed one of these recently. Had to take both front and bottom off engine. Very difficult repair, as there are no good jack points for the engine when you have all the motor mounts off.
Here is procedure I would recommend.
Remove starter and engine to transmission brackets front and back.
Remove transmission starter gear cover.
drain oil and remove oil pan.
put a block under the crankshaft and jack to release weight on motor mount.
remove front motor mount (by serpentine belt)
remove belt.
remove compressor and bracket.
remove crank pulley and vib damper.
remove timing cover. mark timing belt with direction of travel
loosen tensioner gear.
remove timing belt.
remove crankshaft timing gear and key.
remove seal and oil pump housing.
clean gasket surfaces.
replace seal and reverse procedure.
If you have questions, let me know.

What is code 1255 for?
Hello there, I have a 91 dodge grand caravan and by the looks of it, you used the key on, key off, key on, key off, key on method to get those codes. If so, 12 is one code(number of key ons since last fault)(direct battery input to controller disconnected within last 50 too 100 ignition key ons), And for code 55, its just the completion of faultcode display on the check engine light. So basically, there is nothing to worry about. * *NOTE*-All information came right out of Haynes repair manual for 84-95 Dodge Carvans
