Rear main leak

I have a 93 5.9 cummins and allison trans in a winnebego motorhome that has developed a bad rear main oil leak. Does anyone know of a way to slow down the leak besides pulling the trans and putting in a new seal? Thanks,Rod.

Leave the trans in place and remove the engine......

Sadly, rear mains get fixed by replacing the seal. If downtime is an issue, you can just keep it topped off until a proper repair can be made.
