You could replace the seal yourself. You don't have to replace the entire transmission. Replace the flywheel to crankshaft spacer, and rear main engine seal while the transmission is out. Enlarge the drain back hole in the bell housing to a 5/16" diameter. If it's really bad, and has high mileage, then you might need to have a new bushing machined into the bell housing. In the mean time, check your coolant level, fan clutch, and thermostat before you make a big job out of this. I had this problem when my fan clutch went bad. The seal would blow out on the highway when I had the A/C on, and traveled in O/D up an incline.
