If it is a seal, mainshaft or shifter, it shouldn't be that big of a deal, a day at the most. Also check the transmission breather hose, I have had that plugged and makes for a trans fluid leak.

You mentioned you just had it serviced. Did they change the trans oil? If so I bet it's a tad full, and vented on the ride. For instance my tranny takes (by the book) 24 ozs. I put in 22 ozs. the minimum amount is 20 ozs. No more venting for me.

The engine work has nothing to with a tranny leak.
You should be covered.

Tranny is too full. I just had the same problem with mine. Drain a couple of ounces out of the tranny.

Thanks to all who replied, I had the leak fixed last week and the problem they told me was the mainshaft gasket or seal(something like that)???? Anyhow leak is fixed, covered under warranty and they even covered my deductable, Shhhh. Thanks for all the help.
