Default how much will this cost me???

ok, it's been 3 summers since the last time I drove it I put about 150miles on it.. my motor has 1800 miles on it built 7 years ago.. I ran into some problems with the carb dumping fuel into the engine, and I done 3 oil changes, hust trying to make sure all the fuel is out.. now I notice I have a rear main seal leak! when I rev the motor, after warm up it will spin some out some times, it's very slowly drips out, bottom line I need a new seal.. now I had my rear end rebuilt, it has about 30,000 miles on it, shortly after rebuild it would slowly drip out, very very minimal, the only thing I do is move it in and out of the garage, when painting, and now it leaks big time, I mean a big puddle, even if I push the car out, I'll get a puddle.. so I know the seal is crap.. now, that I am older I just dont have the patients to do this work.. how much do you think this will cost me to have done? (both seals) the minimun and max..
I realy want to start enjoing this car, I seen a 74 vette the other day, it was an average stock one, but I was like thats nice, you dont see those anymore, and I have one sitting in my garage....
