If its the rear main seal then the trans has to come out and its just a 1 piece seal and no touching the oil pan but tge other leaks are pretty simple tho!
Glad to hear its back up and running and I'm sure it has a nice hit to it! Not too much hit but just enough to hear it. What mufflers do you have??

Congrats on getting it running. How's it feel, fast as expected or are you still breaking her in?
If that leak is the rear main seal, I'd just do it myself. It's going to cost an arm and a leg to get it done. It's not an easy job but its also not the hardest job. Remove midpipe -> remove driveshaft -> remove transmission -> remove clutch assembly -> remove flywheel (tricky without the proper tool) -> repeat in reverse order. Also, do it sooner than later so that it doesn't end up seeping on to your clutch and ruining it.

302's and rear mains is a old issue.
some people never get theres to stop leaking even after replacing everything.
I would do the work yourself. With a T5 its not THAT bad, but don't you have a auto? would suck trying to lift a giant aode by yourself.
