I had the same problem last year and also not mechanically inclined as most here.
My mechanic ordered the two piece BOP seal that is guaranteed not to leak if installed properly and of course it is still leaking however not as bad.
Upon reading, some of the cranks have a serrated edge that needs to be taken into consideration and some use a sealant in addition to the kit. Some swear by the old soap on a rope as well.
Good luck with old leaky. I'm just used to it as I have had pontipigs for 30 years now lol and sick of trying to fix it lol
