Dumb Apex Question

This may be dumb as hell but here goes. Should I be driving my car with a blown Apex seal?

I was thinking about driving it to the shop.

well your engine is going to have to be rebuilt anyway, its not like it would get much worse than that.
it should still be driveable but its gonna be way harder to start and your power and gas milage will be WAYYY down

Well my seal just went also, I was out getting pizza (mr. Grande, it almost didnt fit in the car) and I went to start the car and *BOOM*, it still ran but with way less power as noted above. It would stall if I let it rpm lower then 1500, luckily I was close to home, drove it 4 minutes home and Now its time for a rebuild... . good luck with yours, if Anyone has any important rebuild facts... do share... thx
