I got an oil leak im sure its leaking from 2 places one is the coil pack, for which I need to replace the o ring but im finding it really difficult to get one, i've read that they go really cheap (under a quid cheap) but if I am unable to get to a fiat dealership wherelse can I go, if I know the size of it surely I can get one from anywhere.

The second leak seems to be comming from the sump which I am going to whip off replace the gasket and see what happens. When I am under the car the drip seems to be comming from the left therefore I have kinda ruled out a crank seal problem as the crank seal is on the right, but any ideas are welcomed.
 
I took the coil pack off and cleaned it up and just run sone sealant round it to cure my leak. Done it as a temporary fix one sunday when the dealer was closed but i have since left it as it has never leaked again.
 
How easy is it to change both crank seals.

Short answer.

Front = Timing belt off, crank pulley off. Depending on engine version/oil pump position it may be sump off etc.

Rear = Gearbox out, flywheel/clutch off.

I've done both (not on this engine) with engine in situ. Its not a hard job just time consuming.
