Default Trans Leak Help - Front

Getting the car ready for the AutoX season I decided to change all the fluids. After I got it up on a lift I found a pretty bad leak in the transmission. It appears to be coming from the front part where the (not sure what it is called on a vette) driveshaft would hook up. I assume there is a seal in there to replace.

I am not sure what the fix is going to entail exactly and didn't find anything in the big DIY thread, it talks mostly about rear end leaks.

Anyone have a good DIY link?

Also, since it looks like the whole rear section is going to have to come out what else should I relace? Are there other seals, etc?

Thanks!

I would replace the torque tube bushings, extension housing RTV, output shaft seals, and rear differential seal. There might be more; these are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.
