Could engine sludge increase pressure causing the crank seal to leak? Also what are some good ways to make the internals gleam again? I've been putting some MMO thru it but it looks like the idiot kid Po hasn't change the oil in 15k and it needs the sludge out, so a heavy cleaner recommendation would be appreciated.

You're not going to stop a leak by cleaning out sludge, if anything you'll make it worse. If that's what you're getting at here.
Which crank seal is it? How far are you from Marshalls Creek? If you need help fixing it hit me up1991 Mercury Capri XR2 "GTXR2" BPT Swapped AWD Conversion
