How big a Transmission Problem?

I have a 1999 Fleetwood Bounder with a V10 engine on an F53 chassis. On Friday my mechanic pulled the parking brake housing to do a rebuild. He took it to his shop to do the work. Since Friday morning I have lost at least a quart of transmission fluid that has leaked into the absorbent pads stuffed around the spline and under the transmission back end to catch anything. I have a bucket under everything to catch what the pads might not get and there is a small amount in the bucket. I'm pretty sure it should not do this with the parking brake drum removed. I suspect there is a seal leaking at the rear of the transmission. Has anyone had this problem and what were the costs to repair?
Also, can anyone tell me what transmission I might have? Thanks. Chuck

You might have a 4R100 transmission since that was the only transmission that was available.

I'm pretty sure it should leak with the parking brake assembly removed.
