OIL leaks ... HELP (long)

Hello everyone. I need a piece of advice on fixing the oil leaks that have been taking 1 qt of oil about every 300 miles. No need for an oil change really.. :) After some closer inspection it seems that the front main seal is leaking, but the bigger leak is coming from between the engine and the transmission, dropping right on the exaust, therefore the constant smoke and the frequently ripping rubber exaust hangers(oil effect). Long story basicly. I need some advice on whether it is the rear main seal along with the front one, and as far I know the engine has to be pulled to replace the rear one at least and what's up with the special tool that is needed to slide in the seals? Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
BTW: '94 9000 CDE automatic with 185k, great car in great shape otherwise!
Thanks.
