you can test/clean your own injectors
Use a 12V battery and carb cleaner, not brake cleaner
You can make a simple adapter from a old tire valve stem and the red straw from the carb cleaner

I would replace the rear main seal yes, use felpro
The 5.0 Explorer engine ALWAYS develops small leaks at the RMS, even your new seal will likely leak a little. Some wetness I have just learned to live with. No "drips" allowed
Enjoy!
I can live with leaky not drippy. My foxbody got leaks from every gasket that should hold oil in. Drives me nuts.
