2nd from the left. The 'back' of the engine is the side with the gearbox attached, hence calling it the 'rear' main seal.

The 'front' and 'rear' makes more sense when you picture a rear wheel drive car, which have longitudinal mounted engines, which obviously have the gearbox at the back, and the timing belt at the front.

I was taught that the front of the engine is usually
the end with the water pump attached to it.

No there not:funkybana Hondas have there DOR anti clockwise and the engine on the N/S of the car, thus No/ 1 cylinder being on the right.

And the exhaust manifold to the front of the car.
