03 Clutch won't engage

2003 6 speed Clutch will not engage. It appears the rear main seal is leaking. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this issue, and what is likely to need replacing. I am figuring a new seal, but don't know if the clutch will still be okay or not. Truck has about 100k on it currently, clutch was not slipping prior to current issue.

slave is fine, I could feel the clutch catch and then slip when I engaged it.

that's kind of what I was thinking. Unfortunately I don't have the equipment/time to do the job myself, so I am calling around in the morning for estimates. Anybody know what the typical cost is on the labor side of the job?
