I would advise you check really damn closely to make sure the leak is coming from the rear main seal before you decide to change it as the time required to drop the tranny and expose it is substantial and you don't want to do it unless you know for sure the rear main is truly leaking. I changed mine when I changed the tranny and it had over 100,000 miles on it and wasn't leaking a bit but I did it anyway just on general principles since I had already the tranny out.
