sounds like your front main seal is farked

would probably take about 4hours to do, $30 seal (max) so say $350ish

The front Crank seal is a big job. $10 - 20 for the seal and as much work as doing a Timing Belt job. If it's leaking you may need a new Timing Belt. Check the Water Pump (better to replace at same time) as well. Rear Main is gear box out job and about $65 for the seal.

ps: PM me if you want a good price on timing belt kits. I will have some available soon with all OEM Parts.

if the timing belt has been getting coated in oil it might be worthwhile replacing it anyway.

rear main is probably a bigger job, well in my opinion anyway.
