Engine Oil Leak

[seth]

My 01 SAN GT40 has had an oil leak near the front of the engine. It is pretty minor but still an oil leak. I took it to California Correct Craft to get it fixed and it turns out they will have to pull the motor to fix it, which is going to cost $750! ouch. They told me that I could leave it and it probably wont get any worse than it is. They said it was a pretty common leak on a GT40, has anyone else had this problem? If so are there any alternatives to pulling the motor? Im pretty handy but dont think that is in my scope of handiness. I also am the type of person that cant just let an oil leak be there. So if I cant figure anything out im just going to bite the bullet and have them fix it.

I had some pictures but my laptop crashed, they may still be on my camera. They do not however show where the leak originates. The only thing I can see is where it is dripping offf of the motor into the bilge. The dealership is supposed to look at it today and give me a call to tell me exactly whats up. Ill try to get those pics and post what they tell me.

It is the "rear seal" where the transmission couples with the motor.
