There is a seal that is fitted into the timing chain cover. The seal rides on the harmonic balancer. You can pull the balancer, remove the timing chain cover and replace the seal by removing it with a screw driver. You do not need to pul the oil pan to do this. You will however need a balancer puller tool. You can rent these at Autozone or any other major auto parts store.
