I'd love to just spend the money for a complete R&R and a refresh - but the number of other projects that need our limited time and money dictate that we make the best use of each that we can.
Mechanic says he would love to be able to get it done without dropping the tranny all the way - says these are a bear to do. Gonna give him the go ahead to invest a couple hours to figure out if he can get to the leak by dropping the exhaust and loosening bits. Best case, if he can get access without a complete pull, will be something like 3-4 hours labor plus parts.
If that works, we've got lots of leftover fundage to go towards other projects.
