Oil Leak

OK, after 150K miles, it was bound to happen. The car developed an oil leak, and while it's very little, it's leaking from a very bad location - rear main seal. It only loses about 1 qt per 3000 miles, which isn't bad, but is there something I can do about it before I can get to it?

Times like this, I wish it was a front main seal. At least that can be fixed when the timing belt is done.

I cringe at the thought of having to pull the engine/transaxle to replace this little part.

I don't know how you can fix it, but, I do know how you can help stop it from leaking. Get some " Quick Stop " ( I think that's what it's called? ) and pour a qt. in and it should do the trick? A buddy of mine had a Camaro that leaked like a ***** and we poured some in and it hasn't leaked since? And that was about 2,000 miles ago?
