4cyl Allis Chalmers Flat Head oil leak behind pulley

I have a otis baker forklift with a 4cyl Allis Chalmers continental F163. It's leaking oil from the crank seal behind the pulley. The crank pulley doesn't have a nut on it and doesn't look broke off. Are these pulleys pressed on? Or is there something inside oil pan past the seal that keeps the pulley on?
