Located My Oil Leak...now I Need Help!!!

This the diagram fro the RF45, which should be very similar. No ball/roller bearing behind the seal, just retaining ring holding the shaft in. Should be a simple matter of removing the old oil seal and gently tapping in a new one with something like a socket.

Yeah, that's what my drawing looks like, THANK YOU for all the help, all of you have been great.

Matt said he would send me some and he also gave me the size, that way if I ever have this problem again I'll know what to order.
Thanks again everyone.
 
I would replace both seals, looks like the outer hole casting around the seal is pretty uneven. I would suggest you drain the oil in the head if it is old, pull out the old seals (I often dig into the seal with a sharp pointed metal pick to pry them out), clean the area around the seal. You might use a little silicone sealant on the outside diameter of the seal when installing them if the metal is not even or is rough.

Should be good to go. My hat is off to QMT/Matt for taking care of customers and assistance.
