Seeing where the oil is coming from is a good start.  If you can find a port in which to put an actual oil pressure gage, reading this might give an idea of the health of the bearings.  I was just reading on the other forum that a very general rule of thumb is 10psi per 1000 rpm.  So 10psi at idle and 30psi at 3000 rpm.  Plus how quickly the pressure drops back to 0 after shut off.  

Yeah, the rear seal would take more work.  But pulling the timing belt on the 2.5 is easy peasy.  I installed a new on on mine when it broke, probably only took 2 hours, and that was with lining it up.  Which you don't have...
