(2) is easy. (1) is moderate to easy. The B2 reaction piston o-ring I just did, the tranny shop wanted $900 to fix it. They would drop the tranny and a $2.34 part from the dealership. It is a lot of beer for $897, cheers.
Wow - $900 bucks... yikes. Yeah, I'm pretty sure (90%) that on mine it's not coming from the dip stick, which I can see - the other place I can't see - it's obstructed by the exhaust pipe which runs very close to it and it's up above that.

Wonder what it takes to lower the transmission some...
