BlackMercedes,

I went to a reputable independent shop and they diagnosed that the rear seal was bad. Two weeks ago they performed the repaired and I was told that the front crank area is wet also. The tech told me to drive the car for a week and come back for followup inspection. Took the car back yesterday and was told this time that the oil pan gasket is leaking also, along with the front crank-seal. I still notice that the car drops a few drops of oil now and then, but oil usage has dropped. My concern is can I live with this for a while, or should go for another major repair. Lastly, any idea how much this may cost me (oil pan, front seal)?
