Reply to "Engine out"

I was just talking to a mechanic that recommends that when the rear engine seal leaks that of course you need to replace the seal but he says the main bearings also. I find it hard to believe that any kind or worn main bearings would permit the crankshaft to move enough to cause a seal failure but I suppose that it is possible?
He had more gray hair then me so he out ranked me.

I never heard this before but I thought I would pass it along.
