Default Mainshaft leak help


Went into this with the intentions of replacing the main shaft seal even though it was done not too long ago. Discovered the seal looks good but oil is leaking from the splines it looks like not sure what I need to replace to fix that. Thanks in advance

Pull the spacer out and you should a square O ring (some may be round) behind the spacer. That is what is leaking.
