Front seal is easy, just need to clean it all at least twice, including the use of q-tips before reassembly
A much larger concern is the water in the oil. Could be serious condensation from it being started and run only for a short time or never heated up fully during numerous test drives, but I think you may be looking at a head gasket. Not difficult but if you need to pay someone to do it the cost of the car needs to be much less. Here paying a disinterested third party for a PPI will be money well spent.
