The oil pan shouldnt be bad with the transmission pulled out already. Ive pulled mine twice with the tranny in and it sucked.

I have never seen an LT1 rear main seal actually leak, it is usually something else further up like intake to block china wall, the only time I have seen an oilpan gasket leak was a messy install, if so why was it messed with on this car you bought?
