Should be in the neck that stick out, inside the pulley, near the bottom.

IMO 125 miles is enough.

To replace the seal that is leaking basically requires following all the

Not really, the R&R is the easy part.  Drain the coolant first (obviously),
and I like Hylomar for gasket dressing.  BTW, local Harbor Freight really
did have genuine Hylomar at $5/tube.
