    If it's just seal, then it's pulling tranny and putting it back. Few hours if work

    Well I talked to a mechanic and he said it is from head gasket and between trans and Engin and it will need 8 hours of labor to be fixed. But I'm not sure if that is gonna be it.

    If you are not familiar with the truck, make sure a reputable mechanic can check it out before you sign the papers.

    Nope. Head gasket means possible internal problems. Walk away.
