Am I correct to recall its about $2,000 in labor to take out the tranny to replace the $10 failed seal?

Also, I am I correct to assume a standard fix for this is a bag of kitty litter and a bottle or two of M1 synthetic to top off?

I know that most people who have this leak fix it when they get a new clutch. I have no clutch so are there any "optimal" points in time to get this thing fixed?

Oh, and I don't know if this makes a difference, but the dripping is under the engine, but the drops cover maybe a 15in x 15in range - it is NOT concentrated to a little zone of dripping.

Thanks!

You need to get the car in the air to locate the source of the leak. There are many places for oil to leak from that have nothing to do with the RMS.

Generally, if there is no CEL light on, would a small oil leak worry you enough to bring it in?
