Your description is not really clear. A case seam leak can also be on
the flywheel side. Most typically, a leak between the case and the
flywheel is a flywheel  seal ( sometime called a crankshaft oil seal)
leak. Removing the flywheel and replacing the seal usually takes care of
the problem.


If you are going to have the tranny out, now is the time to replace the
seal. It will most likely take care fo the problem.
