looks like a rear seal may have failed. Need to take apart the rear to see if that's the issue. Good luck.

Assuming it is a rear seal, what’s a reasonable estimate for the cost to repair?

Yea oil leaks are hard to diagnose because oil flows down. You just have to take out the rear and track the oil flow that is pooling near the shaft to figure out the source of the leak.

Hi

The source of the oil can also come from the area of the right cylinder bank. This can be seen in the picture.
