Hi All,
I would appreciate some assistance / advice regarding the topic's title.

My Fronty has started leaking a "moderate" amount of oil. (Teaspoon - tablespoon every 1 - 3 days)

Took it to a Holden Dealership in SA to be told its the Rear main Seal and that it was a BAD leak. They have quoted approx $2000 to do the job (16 hours labour @ $1700 and $300 for parts).

I am seeking some advice from all forumites about the following.
1) What is the implication of not repairing the rear main seal straight away? (What will happen if I delay the repair until I can afford it)

2) Is the cost / time required, estimated by Holden a ball park figure or would I be getting a raw deal.??

3) Can anyone recommend a GOOD and REPUTABLE 4X4 mechanic in Adelaide that can give me a second opinion. (Particularly, anyone who has had similar work done to Fronteras or Rodeos etc)

I live down south (Morphett Vale)

Thanking you all in advance.

Cheers
Shane
