Default Leaking Rear Main Seal :(

I have one. Haven't measured exactly how much oil I'm losing per day but it's more than just a couple of drops. It's been two weeks since I've noticed the major leak and today I checked the dipstick and the oil covers all of the dots except the top dot.

Any recommendations? I've been quoted $550 from Firestone and I know that's a ripoff. I've heard to let a shop do the repair and ind someone that will do it at ~$375.

It's not a hard fix to do yourself if you have the time and tools. It's like a $20-40 part and easy to do once you get the transmission and flywheel out of the way.

clean it up good then track the oil to make sure its not the rear intake seal or the oil pressure switch.
