Message	AceZX, Before you change that seal, check the two PCV valves. If they are clogged the crankcase pressure will push oil out the rear engine seal. Ten years ago or more I had the same issue, but it was a minor leak, leaving a pop can diameter puddle on the garage floor after each drive. I changed both PCV valves and the leak has not returned. That was at about the 50 000 km/ 30 000 mile mark, and the car has about 88 000 km/ 53 000 miles today.
