Minor leaks from the front of the tranny and the rear main seal. Don't need to fix them til they get a lot worse, but I'm curious - one mechanic I talked to said he'd drop the tranny to get at them, the other said he'd pull the engine. Both put the job in the same price range (about $800). Is there a preferred way to do it? Seems to me that dropping the tranny would be easier than pulling the engine, but I'm not a mechanic. Thoughts/Opinions?
