Like jmadigan said, the rear main seals rarely go bad. They may seep a bit, but oil pouring from that area is usually coming from the engine valley, which has a drain hole into the bell housing area. The will cause the uninitiated to jump to the conclusion that the rear main seal has gone bad.
He needs to clean the engine, then determine where the oil is coming from. Turbo pedestal o-rings are a common source of leaks, as well as o-ring seals on the HP oil system.
Ether with glow plugs or intake air heater active = a real chance of damage or injury. Not a good idea.
