Default Rear main seal remove cover or not?

Im pretty sure my rear mail seal is leaking. I replaced the clutch and my car started leaking oil after that. Should I just replace the rear main seal or should I get a new cover with the seal already in it? I dont care if it cost more if it makes if easier and less chance of problems.

Had both rear main seal/rear cover gasket replaced recently.



No more leaks.

Just make sure they apply RTV on the bottom corners of rear cover to prevent any oil leaks.

this might have been a little overkill but i put a small amount of rvt around the entire cover and globbed the hell out of the corners when i did my rear main.
