Hello Paul,
The part # for the transmission front cover, from MiniMania, is C22G118
-
it is $55.96 untill Dec. 24th. 1999.
In case it is the engine leaking, as well, the engine 'Rear main seal
kit' is RIC777 at $180.00.
I haven't ever used the gear box front seal, but I have used several of
the engine main seals, and they work quite well.
