front seal leak

my tci c4 is leaking a bit. i thought it was the pan but i got under and can now see its leakin from between the transmission case and the bellhousing. could it be the front seal or the front pump gasket?

thanks,
tom

Much more likely to be the seal but a closer look with the tranny out would tell you. Either one means a tranny R&R.

just wondering how do you guys go about removing the front seal and installing the new

Pump seal can be replaced without removing pump from tranny. Carefully pry it out, then using some light sealer carefully reinstall.

Pump gasket gets more complicated because the clutch drums have a way of followinjg the pump out or just being pulled out of place.
Tighten front band tight to hold direct clutch in. after getting pump just loose from it seat in the tranny hold the clutches in while removing. Clean up the gaskets and replace. Should take a good look at pump bushing while you are here. Reinstall and adjust band.

okay guys got the transmission out. pulled the converter off and there is no oil leaking in the bellhousing. at least i think. the converter and front seal look fine. there is no scoring or scratches on the converter hub so does that mean my front seal is fine. how do i tell where this leak is comming from. should i pull the front pump to inspect the gasket? i have pic on my cardomain site. here is the link.

okay got everything changed. now i have a problem. when i sent to put the input shaft back in it wouldnt seat all the way and i cant turn it by hand. what is wrong and what do i do. i can feel it go into a set of splines but itlooks like its still not seating the whole way.
