Is it a common problem to need to change a seal at the rear of the engine box on the driver's side? I had it changed almost a year ago and now have a new leak. They put that dye to figure out where it might be coming from and said that it's possibly the same problem-that some Camry's could have this seal problem.I am unemployed and cannot afford to waste any $ on a car repair.

If you talking about a rear main crankshaft seal then it can cost some dough to fix that. To save money my advise would be to leave it alone if it is a small leak and just check the oil level once a week and add a little if low. Also you might want to put a mat under the car to keep the floor clean.
