Oil Leak - Flame Trap - $$ 850

Oil leak leaving a mess on the ground - it looks like the rear oil seal - below the flywheel. I read about this "flame trap" and sure enough it was clogged. Here's the $1,500 question. If I replace the flame trap - will this stop the oil leakage? Or, is it too late - once it leaks oil from the seal there's nothing else to do but have it replaced? Advise..possible DIY (rear oil seal) or dealership repair and cost?
