6 Speed input shaft seal replacement
 
I have oil leaking from the bottom of the bell housing. I did replace the main oil seal when I installed the engine, so I think the input seal to the trans is leaking.
Is this part replaceable in the home garage? Does it sound like it could leak statically? I didn't drive for 2 months and it had to small puddle underneath.
Oh, I changed the clutch slave too because it was leaking, so that's ruled out.

I have read here that others have replaced the seal themselves but that is something that although I have done allot of work on my cars, I will not attempt. It is one thing to have the car up on a true lift and another having it up on jack stands and working on your back.

I would have to remover the trans to get at the input shaft seal. I did the output from under the car.

I am wonder if there are two as the parts breakdown shows. And could it leak statically.

You provided nuthing about the mileage and history of your car. Just my two pennies. As it is a mega job to replace the input shaft seal, if it were me, I would be very careful in accurately diagnosing the leak. I would try to determine if the fluid is brake, engine, or gearbox before jumping to conclusion. It is not that hard if you put the mind to work.

Historically, I haven't read that the Getrag 6-speed to be leak-prone.

The motor is from a recycler with about 100K on it. The trans has about 200K on it and is bone stock. I changed the fluid with synchromech fluid and change the right output seal because I thought there was a leak there (turned out to be something else).
