What seal are you talking about? The front and center diffs on a WRX are lubed by the standard gear oil in the gearbox, so there's no "diff fluid" to check like there is on the STi or 4EAT cars. Are you leaking gear oil?

If it's leaking from the front main on the gearbox, $174 isn't a bad price for the fix since they basically have to take the transmission out of the car to get to it... which has got to be over 4 hours of book time.
