I know that down here in the deep south US most shops will charge between $80.00 to $100.00hr and that is about a 10 hour job being you have to pull the transmission and flexplate to replace the one-piece rearmain seal. Now if it is just the oil pan gasket then your looking at around a 5 hour job.

black oil ,= rear main seal
red oil =torque converter oil seal leak
if the black oil is outside of the housing = rocker cover gasket leak or oil pressure sender leak
red oil outside of the housing = transmission oil cooler lines leak
where is it leaking from
in front of the b ell housing--- sump gasket
out of the bell housing drain hole --could be rear main seal or gear box input shaft seal
from down the side of the motor in front of the bell housing--- rocker cover gaskets
is the sump over full
I've had a 1990 Acclaim, a 1990 Shadow, and a 1998 Breeze, all have a head gasket leak. The Breeze was the only one to have oil leak and it was on the rear of the engine. I'd guess that's your problem.
