Might as well upgrade/pay someone to do a clutch job, while in there is shouldnt be more than $30 more to do the rear main. Clutch jobs cost about $600-$850. It will cost just a bit under that to do a rear main. How bad is it leaking, if its just a bit then I wouldnt worry about it, if you have a puddle in your driveway then I would fix it.

Before you do the seal tighten all the oil pan bolts and the 2 running horizontially near the oil pan bolts. I had a small leak in my 04 and once I tightened these bolts it no longer leaked.
