It sounds like an RMS problem, which means if the seal isn't replaced for about $600-100 depending on who does it, your facing a $10k engine replacement. I would pass on this one. Good luck with the search!
For lack of a better phrase your mechanic sounds like a greedy idiot. I would never risk a road trip with a leaking RMS seal. If the engine did fail you would be SOL, and from your mechanics point of view thats a lot of $$$.
