dealer says may need rear main seal soon $2800
no oil on ground yet. Anyone else have this problem.
How long before it gets worse. Maybe time to get rid of car as much as I love it.

It will get worse slowly.
$2800 is steep.
Find another shop whom you feel is competent.
Make sure your problem is indeed a leaky rear main seal.
If it is...see if they will give you a better price than $2800. Use only genuine Honda/Acura parts, though.
Even if it is $2800....how much does a new car cost? Without even googling it, I can tell you its more than $2800.

Over the course of a year mine went from barely noticeable damp spot under the transmission bellhousing to a fresh dime size spot on the driveway each day. Loss of quantity was not enough to worry about between oil changes. I managed to replace mine myself over a long weekend because that's how I get my kicks, but I probably wouldn't have done anything about it if I had to pay someone what you were quoted. The going rate in my area is about half as much for that job.
