leaky front seal or halves?

Great site here. I have looked at the compressor on this intrigue and now wonder if someone can give me some insight. The compressor has oil on the sides of it and all the way up to and into the back side of the pulley. When viewed from the front the hole where the front seal is has very little oil if any at all. So..i guess my question is.......can the front seal leak out the back area of the pulley and onto the case of the compressor or do I have a case half seal leakage problem? If it was the front seal would it not leak just from the front? If it is in fact a case leak is it worth fixing or time to buy new?Thanks in advance
