I have a 1996 car with that. To fix it would cost more than the car itself is worth. However there is a bottle of "rear main seal" stuff you can put in and it actually works.

I saw that product & considered it, but both the dealer and the other shop did not recommend it. My rv is still worth a lot and as I'm keeping it 'forever' I am going ahead to get it fixed. I'm waiting for the shop to call when their big hoist is free for them to see it. They already estimated a 2 day repair costing $500 + tax unless they find more things needed repair. Hope they call soon, take it tomorrow, fix it by Thursday evening & I can still head south no later than Sat.
