Has anyone tried replacing these seals before? Sounds like it would be a big job.
Is that the bottom of the bell housing in your picture? Is the fluid leaking from the weep hole there? And, have you verified that it is, in fact, tranny fluid? An easy test would be to let some drip on a paper towel to verify that it is pinkish in color. IF it is leaking from the weep hole in the bottom of the bell housing, it could tranny fluid get past the seal - or - it could also be brake fluid from a leaking slave cylinder.
