I recently baught this van and I now see oil in my driveway. It seems to be coming from the front bearing area and from between the rear of the oil pan and the transmission. I assume it's the main bearing seals. How difficult is this to fix. Does the whole engine have to be pulled? What kind of price might I be looking at if this is the case?

Yes it sounds like the mains. The parts are cheap bout 30-40 bucks for the seals BUT the engine will have to be removed because the crankshaft has to come out and its not worth the trouble doing it with the engine in the car because the crank is heavy and you dont want to ding it up.
