1998 Honda Civic 4 cyl Automatic 134000 miles

hello, My auto tech teacher at school looked over my car on the rack and noitced I have a rear main seal leak and he said the axle boot is torn open with no grease in it. Can I wait for both of these. The main seal has a small leak, few drips every night. Also when I get the rear main seal done eventually is there anything I can do to make it last longer? Ty

You can prolong it but on the rear seal you need to identify what caused it to leak
