Default transaxle oil seal replacement

I have sprung a major leak!! The tranny fluid seems to be comming from inbetween the transaxle and the motor, out from under the torque converter cover. Any good tips on how I can repair this myself? I know my way around a rear wheel drive tranny but where do I even start on this???? If it were me I would sell it fast but I just bought the @#$% thing three weeks ago from a company I used to work for and have put many miles on it while the company was running,just my luck. Can anybody help walk me throught this??? Thanks in advance.

GO TO WEBSITE www.ehow.com click video tab then type in cv joint or halfaxle or something similar to what you are tying to accomplish. Could be a seal loose, but the video will probably give you some insight...

The front pump gasket of the transmission maybe leaking. The transmission would need to be removed and inspect.
