How much is it leaking? Adding a liter of oil every month is not that large of an expense.

hey, that's a perfectly good buggy, ya got there...would devour that one up immediately in former parts of town back home because it's straight, never wrecked and not seen much off-road use, handled with kid gloves and not slammed around for fun...a responsible driver owned this---should be enough to make the sale in a hurry....if the things is all that!

how many googely-eyed wrench-heads with hydraulic presses, overhead cranes, lifts and booms to make quick work of this...here, you look bored, here's a dollar-....no joking aside this is a bit of a hasslin' job with a few seal extraction and placement assortment rings needed- not too much money, if you've got a guy who already is equipped to do seals, pay 'em off!
The rear oil seal itself would cost you around $15, but I'd buy a complete seal kit if I were you. It's a bit of a job to do but with the right tools it should cost you no more than a day or two in all if you do it yourself (or two days of pay for a mechanic plus the seal kit).
