You can check for the leak by spraying with brake clean and then stuffing a paper towel around the selector above the top of the oil pan. Let it stay overnight. If it's dry it's not leaking there.

Well tried it today, but can't get the tool to insert on the seal. Tried turning it, pushing it, tapping it, and a combination of each. It just wont go on. Gonna button it back up since the sun is going down. Am I just a wimp?

Also managed to bugger the gear lever somehow...the gear selector falls all the way down to 2 without a button press and goes halfway into reverse from 2. Got it parked for now until I can figure it out. I wouldn't think I'd be able to have put it back together in a different gear since it would seem the rod matched the selector position. The selector shaft did change gears while loosening it though.

Metal/smaller one is the new one. Still don't know if my linkage has been fixed by putting it all back on again, as with my horrible luck I snapped the rear axle drain bolt putting it back on. Gotta try to extract it tomorrow and put fluid in.
