Is there a crank seal?

Ok i've posted earlier talking about my car smoking........Now that i've figured out the cause of this "smoking", i came to conclude that it was an oil leak. I can't seam to figure out where this oil leak is located. As I asked my boss, he was thinking that it could be from a crank seal, that it is cracked or such an such.....Now is there really a crank seal?

If it's smoking out the tail pipe it's likely a rotor seal which is internal to the engine.

If it's oil dripping on the exaust pipe there's always a possibility its a front or rear crank seal.

There's other possible items but their out in left field.

Ok i figured out th reason for it smoking, there was no oil in the engine at all, because of some leakage, now i see the leakage physically dripping from the axle of the wheels, so the smoking thing is done now, it jus needed oil......but i'm looking for the leaking now.....
