The mid-pto is leaking and it appears to be coming from the seam where it bolts to the transmission not the shaft seal. In looking at the parts list for the mid-pto and the transmission I don't see a gasket or o-ring listed for where the mid-pto assembly mates to the transmission. Is it just a machined surface with some type sealer on it? Do the 4 bolts that hold it need thread sealer on them?

Loctite Anaerobic sealer, similar to silicone or RTV, but works better on metal to metal sealing, it's what the factory uses to seal it. ;)

NIW, thanks....so its metal on metal with sealer. I'm guessing all Hydro oil needs to be drained in order to reseal everything?
