    Just had oil pan gasket replaced. Now mechanic noticed a leak behind motor and bell housing. What could be a fix? and the cost? Truck is a 2000 FLD.

    How much does it leak? I wouldnt worry if it leaks a little, because its gonna cost you to remove tranny, clutch and flywheel get access to rear seal.
