Regards,

I've replaced the seal in the transmission case, but either I did it wrong, or I need both seals for it to be effective. The seal I used is SKF 3050. Apparently, it is only a seal that can be obtained online. None of the chain parts stores sell it. The other option is a National seal, but I tried that and it was not successful either. The SKF seal seems to be a better quality seal, but I am uncertain if I installed it correctly or not.
Unfortunately, the seal part on the solenoid is not serviceable. Mine is damaged, and the contact points are starting to get worn fairly bad, so I plan on sending it off to get rebuilt probably in the spring. I do have a second solenoid that seems to have a good seal on the unit itself, so I might try swapping that in and seeing if the leak continues.
