Problems, Problems, Problems

Well I still have gotten my PCM replaced because my wifes transmission went out in her 2002 Explorer. Unfortunatley, when I pulled in my driveway yesterday, I noticed a puddle under the truck. Turns out it's tranny fluid. Looks like it's leaking from the bellhousing area. I haven't been pulling anything, and it's only 70 degrees here, so I don't think it's overheating. Just when I stop it leaks a puddle. The fluid thats on the ground is cool to the touch and the tranny shifts fine.

Anyone with any input on this one would be greatly appreciated. I figure it probably the front seal, but would like to know what kind of job that I'm looking at. Can the seal be replaced by just pulling the tranny, or does the tranny have to be disassembled to replace it. Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure the seal can be replaced just by gettin the TC out of the way

Ok, pull the tranny, remove the TC and then I should be able to replace the seal? I'm hoping that the pump is ok. I think because the tranny is shifting fine then the pump should be fine. Thanks for your input.
