No, not sure, and now you have sown the seeds of doubt, despair and despondency :).
Looking back, there has never been any oil on the ground below the final drive,
occasionally, a little further back, the exhaust pipe bracket at the front of the
engine is wet, as is the housing around the TC.
Well, some quick research indicates replacing the TC seal is not something I want to
do at home. I will know more after I replace the final drive pan, using the Right
Stuff, and refilling with GL-5 gear oil.
Thanks,
Jerry
