Oil leak - rear main seal 900 1993

I have a '93 940 with 125K. I has a leaking rear main seal (1 quart @
month) but otherwise runs great. My local Volvo garage has cleaned the
flametrap, replaced the valve cover gasket, rear cam plug, etc. No luck with
various oil stop-leak products.

Replacing the rear main costs about $450 labor and $10 in parts. I do not
think it makes sense to spend this money until I have a more major problem
but would like to keep the oil from dripping on the driveway. Anyone aware
of a pre-fabricated oil drip pan that can be suspended under the car (or
similar)?

Thanks,
Henry Canipe
