There is a tailshaft seal that goes back there.. if you werent careful when installing the driveshaft (or you said it came from a junkyard) the tailshaft seal could have gotten cut or it might have been dry rotted.. from what ive read on here, you should get a replacement one from the ford dealer and when you go to put it in, someone on here told me to put a light coat of sealant on the outside of the seal (metal ring) and then put it in to help ensure it doesnt leak as well... im about to do mine soon as well.. so ill be checkin back

I've seen those seals before... Even used one before. It's not a big deal, they seem to work just as well. Not sure what tranny/car year(s) they came on originally. I got mine at NAPA maybe 5 or 6 years ago. It happened to be one of like 4 cross referenced numbers for the T5 and was also the only one he had in stock. I've not seen one since then. Maybe they come off of GM T5s?
