how can i replace my rear engine seal on my vauxhall corsa merit?

hi
i need a detailed step by step on replacing the rear engie seal on my 1994 vauxhall corsa merit 1.2 4 valve.
the mechanics quotes are more then the cars worth so would like to attempt to repair it myself as the part is cheap.
thanks

ive had that recomended im giving it a try today
the only trouble is if it continues to leak im gonna need to replace gear box and clutch because it gets contaminated
if anyone knows the procedure in which to gain access to the rear engine seal a step by step would be highly useful
thanks for the ideas

If the problem is a "small" leak, there are oil additives available which can reduce leaks by swelling the seal material.
