So I have oil inside my clutch cover. Quite a bit actually. Enough that it got on the belt and primary. Primary got gummed up enough to keep it from completely disengaging. Tore it apart , and found so much oil that I can’t tell if it’s coming from the crank or transmission seal. Crank seal is an easy fix but the transmission seal looks to be a different style that I’m sure will have to be ordered. Anyone have any experience with leaking from either of those spots? No warranty so I’m on my own here.

I have had mine in twice for a new trans seal dealer told me it only takes about an hour to change and around 65 bucks for the new seal

Damn. Only an hour? Took me two hours just to get it apart. lol. I ordered both seals today. Just gonna replace both since I’m already there and can’t tell which one is leaking.
 
Yeah but since I’m already there I’m gonna do both. Mine wasn’t as bad as your pic so I didn’t lose enough oil to be able to tell. It’s still in the safe zone on the dip stick but I didn’t look close enough when I changed the oil last to tell if it’s lower than before.
 
Ya that's true it's a hassle to get in there I'm just hoping mine holds this time as it's on tracks now waiting for more snow

Well back to the dealer clutch is full of oil again belt slipping 131 miles before the seal went out this time. This will be the 3rd time and have tried 2 different dealers now for the repair

Wonder if it’s the casting instead of the seal.
 
Ya very well could be they did just pull the whole transmission out as they found a bolt head when changing fluid after last seal replacment
