Clive,
There is no actual seal in the rear mains, it is a scroll on the crankshaft. Sometimes these will leak if the grooves in the scroll are gunged up. If you wish to remove the engine it has to come out with the gearbox as an assembly.
You could drop the sump to check the scroll. If the mains are worn the crank can the touch the housing around the scroll and they can leak.
