Front Transfer Case Seal Replacement

Noticed a small bit of leaking trans fluid on garage floor and my mechanic says I need a front transfer case seal. Anyone know what a dealer would might charge based on standard ford service for this repair. Advisable to do the rear seal at the same time? Many thanks...

If I recall correctly it was over a $1200 job.

Thanks for the info everyone. Just for future reference, my mechanic (not a ford dealer) completed the replacement of the front output shaft seal in 5hrs for $400. Parts were about $45. The had to drop the front part of the transmission which was most of the labor. My 05' Expdy has 114K miles.
