Default do i need to split the engine to change the crank seals?

My left side crank seal is leaking into the crank housing would that cause the motor not to run with the air and oil leaking out of the seal? Should i just change both side seals while im at it and will that leak ruin the cylinder head, i just put a new pistion and rings in the thing but the leaking and smoking of the oil has me concerned

should be able to change those seals without spliting case depends what u are working on. I have seen where piston blowing apart has also put holes in the lower cases

You should be able to drill a hole into the face or flat surface of the crank seal. Then put a screw in it and using pliers or vice grips you should be able to pull out the old seal.
