Just had my oil changed at a local shop here, and when I picked the car up they told me that the power steering was seaping and that the rear main seal was also leaking a little is this common i have nearly 80,000 mile on the car...

Did they indicate how bad it was, and how much fluid was lost? Any leak needs immediate repair. The rear end leak fix is pricey, but absolutely necessary. A good Vette mechanic will know exactly how to fix it since it's a fairly common problem.

Any leak will only get worse, but if it is just seepage, you probably have some time before you really need to get it repaired. . I think he is talking about the rear seal on the engine, not the rear differential seal leak.
