Default leaking trans oil

I noticed that my camaro was leaking trans oil. When I checked it I found out its coming from the main seal. How much is it to correct this problem?

The front seal is around $5. It's possible to buy the seal and a can of brake cleaner and fix it for under $10.
I've done that many time with sucess.

It's a lot of work taking the transmission out, and a shop should automatically change the bushing and all the pump seals ($40 more in parts).

So thats $45 in parts and whatever a shop charges for labor in your area.
