Its deffo transmission as it has that distinctive smell!
Would I be right in assuming that this is going to be the input shaft seal?
Big job im guessing
Unfortunately our nice new duratec install is slightly flawed in that we appear to have transmission oil dripping out of the bellhousing.

Could be either the input shaft or the selector shaft.
If you fitted a new seal on the input shaft then its likely the selector shaft.
Input shaft seal is a 5 min job....but you need the engine out first
Did you remember and fit a spigot bearing to the end of crankshaft ?
Other wise it is the tranny input oil seal easy enough to fix. Ford specified a lower oil lievel because of leaks from this seal the oil revised
level should be about 10 to 15mm below the level plug on a level surface.

Sweet! So that means its normal to leak if full to the filler level?
we fitted a bearing

No the selector comes through at the top into a recess in the bellhousing, the end of the layshaft is visible bellow it in the front of the gearbox
casing. Standard gasket between bellhousing and gearbox encloses both areas which I've had trouble from before with leakage.
