I recommend that you go ahead and replace the front seal while you are at it. Front Seal, Oil pan gasket, rear seal. If you get the gasket kit go ahead and replace valve cover gasket.

Since you are pulling the engine take a good look at the freeeze plugs, if any are correded badly or seeping, nows the time to address it.
