Front main and rear seals?

I was getting my oil and diff. changed out and the guy told me that my front main and rear seals were leaking. Sure enough they are, but its more of a seeping than an actual dripping. About how much money am I looking at spending to get these fixed? Its only 94 camaro 3.4 btw.

You're looking at a labor intensive job, parts price for the seals are negligible of course. Front seal is on the timing cover, so the pan will need to be dropped, remove hoses, water pump and the opti. Seal can actually be replaced with the timing cover on the engine, but if I was doing it I'd pull the timing cover and install it that way.

Rear is a little harder, means dropping the transmission to get at it. If you can live with a little seepage I'd recommend waiting. Maybe do the seals in combination with a rebuild. If it wasn't for all of the electrical connections, it's almost easier to pull the engine than it is to drop the transmission, unless of course you have a lift, which I'm guessing the mechanic would have unless you do it yourself.
