Yes, I know there's another similar thread, but it's full of blurry pics and not as thorough. So, here's my version.
Tools needed:
Your favorite ratchet
3" extension
10, 12, and 15mm sockets
Flat head or Phillips head screwdriver
Small pick or fine tipped mini flat head screwdriver
Brake or carb cleaner
Shop rags
Black Sharpie
NOK seal PN# BH3888-EO
Step 1:
Mark the dizzy and dizzy collar tab so you can get a ballpark idea of where to set the timing during reassembly.
Step 2:
Remove the dizzy cap by unscrewing the 3 screws holding it down, mine are blue.
Step 3:
Disconnect the power plug and the plug for the sensors.
Step 4:
Loosen the 2 10mm bolts on the dizzy collar.
Step 5:
Remove the 3 12mm bolts holding the dizzy to the head. Yes, I'm missing one.
Step 6:
Remove the dizzy, and place a rag in the hole left, oil will leak out.
Step 7:
Turn the dizzy over. Use the small pick or mini flat head screwdriver to pry to ring off. Insert the tip where the pin is and it comes off very easy.
Step 8:
Remove this pin. After you do the gear will come off. Before you fully remove the gear, mark the gear and the shaft. This will ensure you put the gear back on correctly, because it will go on backwards.
Step 9:
Remove the rotor and disconnect the ICM
Step 10:
Remove the ICM and heatsink. Yes, there are 2 screws, and I only have one.
Step 11 (optional):
If you have been leaking for awhile most likely your ICM looks like this. Remove the ICM from the heatsink and clean them both.
This is how bad mine was:
Step 12:
Remove the 2 screws at the bottom and the one at the very top.
Step 13:
Pull the guts from the dizzy and set them aside.
Step 14:
Now you have access to the seal. I used a flat head screwdriver and pushed the seal out from the bottom. Be careful to not scratch any surfaces.
Step 15:
Use the 15mm socket and 3" extension to seat the seal. It can be a pain because there are strong magnets inside the dizzy. Make sure it's flush.
Step 16:
Reassemble in reverse order. After reassembly start the car, allow it to get to operating temp and check/set the timing. Now enjoy a leak free dizzy! I'm sure I may have left something out, please feel free to chime in and I'll update the OP.

Only difference was I knew right away that that was the issue.
I hope it helps many people.
