 I plan on pulling it out tomorrow morning and checking the seal.  Anything special I should look for?
 
 Thanks,

it may be just the o-ring leaking but sometimes the whol; housing seeps. if you have fluid on the inside of the wire connector, you need to replace the housing as well. the new one comes with a new connector so the connection is clean and dry.if so i recommend soldering the wires from the new connector to the original harness. butt connectors dont work well because of the road moisture from rain etc.
 
I just checked and the O-ring was broken. I've topped off the fluid and I'm going to parts store when they open. Thanks for the help.
