    Big oil leak, suddenly

    Stopped to get gas today and had a massive puddle of oil under me by the time i was done. No oil leaks before this but i just finished a looong road trip so i guess i blew a seal somewhere. Likely the rear main seal? or is there another seal or oil leak spot these engines are known for? Making a shop do the work and hoping i can save a little on diagnostics by pointing them in the right direction.

    edit: its definitely the rear seal. i was just hoping there was some magical chance it wasnt :( so the new question is a) is there a guide somewhere for doing the rear main seal and/or b) anyone have a mechanic they recommend near Seattle?
