The seal behind the crankshaft sprocket, at the very front of the engine. Getting to it means the crank pulley and the timing covers are already off, which is why it is on every sensible timing-belt parts list and almost never worth a trip of its own. A leak here drips onto the timing belt from below, and oil on a toothed belt is the start of a short story with a bad ending. The number, the fitment and the count come from the Montero specialist's own catalogue page, cited below — a parts catalogue is good evidence for what a part number is and what it fits, and it is not factory literature, so read every figure on this page as the catalogue's claim rather than as a service-manual specification.
