Jeff,

         The seal between the tranny and final drive is just a thin paper
thing... 5 bucks at the dealer.  If you're thinking about
replacing/rebuilding (good idea), I recommend Weddle Engineering out of
California.  About $750 plus shipping and core charge and they'll hook you
right up....even give you the silly paper seal.  Here's their info:
