Replace the rear main seal; another mechanic told me there is a slow leak. What do I do now?

It depends on where it is coming from, so did they replace the main seal, and you have the same leak? Can I get more information to help you with? It could be the oil pan gasket, drain plug or valve cover gasket.

Here is a guide that can help:
