Mike,
The seal on the splined shaft needs to ride on a nice smooth surface.  A 
rusty surface could damage the integrity of the "sipped" surface of the seal, 
causing leakage.   And it sounds as if it has.  I don't know if you can 
remove the tail shaft housing without removing the tranny.  I thinks Nanzig 
asked me this question once.  You might check with him cuz I think he tried 
it.
