So i was at super lube the other day gettin my oil changed. i never did it myself cause its winter but anyways, they checked over my car and they said that my front engine seal was leaking. I have a 1995 GTS with just the stock motor, im not sure which one it is. Is this probelm something really major that i should be worried about? or is it and easy fix that i could do it myself?

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I say that people at a lube-shop don't always know what they're talking about. Now, I doubt they would say you had a leak if you didn't have one, but it may not be from the front crank seal... cause it would suck to dish $300-400 only to find the leak was somewhere else the whole time. You might want to think about having a mechanic take a look at it and see what he thinks the leak is from. Then go from there.

In the meantime, like everyone else said, check your oil level often and keep a quart or two in the car to top it off as needed. I usually check mine everytime I fill up with gas. (about once a week)
