How long can I ignore a leaky rear main seal?

Yep. It's leaking alright. '79 450SL. Can I ignore it for now, and keep an eye on the oil level...or is there the possibility of catastrophic failure?

I have some quotes -- it's not the worst job on earth -- but I won't tackle it because I don't have a lift (and I don't like pulling trannies anyway)...
