Default 96 Ram 5.2L Leaking Oil

My 96 Ram 1500 5.2L is leaking a quart of oil every 1,000. She just rolled 231,000 but it's not burning oil...or at least it does'nt look or smell like it. Seem to be leaking from the rear of the oil pan...does it just need a new pan gasket? Is that something I want to try on my own?

Rear main seal is leaking, pretty easy to replace compared to other makes. http://www.pavementsucks.com/tech-article-31.html
