The PTO seal is leaking oil from around it. The PTO is in the front of engine and
easy to get to. Is this something easy to repair-new seal? How involved is it to fix.
Thank You

Easy fix.
Oil seal pushes in from outside.
Hard part is to get the shaft shinny clean before you start or it will wreck the fine feather lip on the seal
Wrap the shaft in 2 layers of glad wrap pulled very tight to prevent the key shaft from cutting the said same feather edge.
a good coating of vasolene will make it slip in easier then use a piece of pipe or a small hammer & punch to drive the seal fully home.

How do i remove the PTO clutch and also the bad seal?

PTO clutch is held on with a single bolt that us fairly deep so you might need a deep walled socket to get on to it.
A rattle gun is you best friend, they come off easily then you pull the seal out with a pick being carefull not to dig into the wall of the crankcase.
I have even seen people put some self tappers in there and then use a claw hammer or wrecking bar to lever them out by the heads.
Take a few photos of the area before you start pulling the seal and post them here.
That oil seal rarely gives problems.

Before you start grab the pto and see if you can move it up & down. If you can there is serious damage to the engine.
