The GTA is leakin' oil..

Ok..its' been leaking oil for 3 or 4 months now..but I wanted to wait and see if it would stop when the weather changed..and it didn't. Now my dilema is this..
Should I pay a shop to break my entire motor (L98) down to fix a single bottom end seal, or just have them rebuild the entire motor? I was planning on getting headers, cam, forged interals, 1.6 RR's, etc..would it be more practical to have them to rebuild the motor and install the new stuff, rather than just fixing that one little problem and doing the mods at a later time?

guess it all depends on how much money you have to spend. be chaeper to do it all now, or at least you won't be paying for some of the same things twice
