I had one too, collecting an ever so small amount of oil in the bellhousing. The had to pull the tranny back to get to it. They even warrantied the NSBU on a Suncoast III while at it. No more leaks!:)

I was just wondering that. It is engine related so I was thinking that. I am at 97K now so I am good. Did you need to convince them it was a warranty item or was it easy for them to do it under warranty?
