Front crankshaft leaking possibly back. Sell it or is it better to replace engine at this point?

Good morning,

The rear main seal leaking is usually an indication that the rear main bearing is worn on the crankshaft and needs to be replaced. That is a major job and if you are going to do that, it would be wise to overhaul it.

You did not list any miles but if you have high miles and want to keep the car, the that would be a good idea.
