oil or coolant.. IMO it doesnt matter (does it look like the picture on the left?) if so it is a seal, which one who knows, doesnt matter there either

sounds like.. side seals??

I guess it all depends on what you want to do

pull it to fix it
uhh.. ATF
not many options when you loose a seal

how many miles are on that motor?

mine had 170K then did that
