Default T56 Rear Seal leak after Dyno

I recently dyno-ed, and now Im leaking tranny fluid from the rear of the tranny where the Driveshaft slides onto the output shaft? Someone said it may be the rear seal? I'd put pictures up but I forgot - can anyone confirm/deny if this is common or how easy it is to replace? A how-to would be nice, too haha. Thanks in advance!

Well easy IMO.
Remove the drive shaft, pop the seal out. Carefully install the new one, then re-assemble.
Check the yoke & the output shaft bushing while your there. they could be damaged causing the problem as well. < Not common but happens.

Get the GM OEM part and be done with it...

I tried a off the shelf part store seal and it leaked within a month. The GM piece will install easier too compared to those generic brand.

Great, just what I wanted to hear.

Happen to have the part number for it?

Same thing I'm having problems with, I already bought the new GM Seal, when I get my tranny back, I will install it.
