Subject:: Hi list. 90 syncro bad leak stuck in parking lot

Hi list.  

Ok found a 17mm allen at parts store. 
Got the bolt off.  No touch of fluid with finger. 

Used a siphon pump and pumped in almost 3 quarts of sae80/90 till full.  

Going to charge it down road again.  Have more fluid and know how to fill again. 

Think it is leaking from main seal to engine.   

Any thoughts on where I should go to get this seal replaced?   And costs?  Heading to Denver colorado springs area.  

Also would this seal be something the shop that installed the engine would have replaced or something they would have over looked.  

Love our community 

Thanks for responses
