A new gasket or output shaft/driveshaft seal as required.  Something like Hylomar blue can be used on any gaskets if you prefer.

Im trying to find out regarding the torx bolts torque cannot find anything crap

I've replaced a few driveshaft seals on ford boxes now, sometimes tend to weep/leak a little when they are disturbed. I would normally price them into a job such as a clutch. For the sake of £10 and 5 mins of my time to fit them.
