I had mine done under warranty at around 27K. Since it was open, I upgraded to a Comptech Flywheel and replaced the pressure plate with a new stock one. Make sure your PVC valve is clean to avoid any excess crankcase pressure from building up. I think it's about $800 in labor to swap out the $10 seal. From what I understand, changing the rear main seal is part of the procedure when replacing a clutch nowdays.
If you're thinking of replacing your clutch at the same time which is a good idea to do, Competition Clutch may have something for us in the next few months as an alternative.

BTW - I'm at 52K miles and I've got a new leak. I first thought that it was the rear main again but it turns out that it's on the gearbox side - probably on the input shaft. You may want to change that seal also if they're in there.
