Default Output shaft leaking please help

Hey guys I was under my 00 WS6 earlier today and noticed my output shaft seal is leaking fluidand the driveshaft is flinging it everywhere. Its not leaking bad but I wanna replace it asap. Anyone know how to replace it and what the part number is? I also read there's a seal with a dust boot and one without one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also its an auto with the original 4l60e.

Remove the driveshaft,pry out old seal,install new seal using sealer around the outer surface, and reinstall driveshaft. Make sure to check your fluid level in the trans and top off as needed.

Wow that's way easier than what I thought. Thank u so much for the fast reply. Should I get a gm seal or will one from the local parts store be alright since apparently they don't have a dust boot?
