Subject:leaking torque converter oil seal?

Vanagoners:

	A warm springlike Sunday in Mobile, what do I do?  Crawl under the van,
looking for trouble instead of just waiting for it to show up! No coolant,
no oil :)  Only gunk and grease appear to be coming from the "cage"
between the final drive (it's an automatic) and the engine. 
	Bentley, page 32.3,shows Converter oil seal (figure 7). This looks like a
suspect. The "stuff" appears thicker than engine oil and is NOT leaving
spots on the driveway. 
	Does anybody have any experience with this torque converter oil seal?
