I put one off on a John Deere 717, it finally blew up due to lack of oil and stupidity. If I could go back I would fix the leak as I ended up parting the mower out. What is this engine on? When I took the mower apart, the engine was actually easy to remove, so im guessing that seal replacement shouldn't be to bad.

If you've got the time, patients and skill to do it i would deff do it yourself and save a couple hundred bucks in shop fees, just take your time and take some pics
