Mk 3 mondeo auto box driveshaft oil seals

Hi guys.  Hoping to get a bit of advice.  I have a 2001,  2 litre petrol mondeo with an automatic gearbox.  I've noticed today that the nearside driveshaft oil seal is weeping fluid.  Seeing as my nearest ford parts centre is closed sundays, I've been ringing round the local motor factors, searching on ebay, euro car parts etc but I can't find anyone that lists the seal for an auto box. So, I  have 2 questions.  1, are the drive shaft seals the same as they are on a manual gearbox (would a seal for a manual fit the auto box because as far as I can see, the driveshafts themselvese are virtually identical to the manual ones) and 2, if it's only available from ford, how much could I expect to pay for it.  Thanks in advance

    Hi!
    i'm afraid i don't know if the manuals are compatible with the autos however i did have one of mine done when i first got my mondeo (mk3, TDCI). 
    I went to an independent garage and have one seal changed and the gearbox oil topped up, all in it was either £90 or £120 (i had a bit of other work done around the same time and can't remember which receipt it was).
