Yesterday in fact, got it back today.
BUT I had both the rear and drivers side leaking and the pan. AND I had the fluid & filter changed as well, which requires removing the exhaust/catalysts on an FL D2 S8.
Also had the middle and rear diffs topped up as they are seeping very slightly (not enough to bother fixing, just top up).
Loadsa labour so loadsamoney. 
The seals were cheap enough, one was £12.44 the other £22.41 (+VAT).
And you might need the gearbox topping up, that's about £12 a litre.
Hour or 2 of labour maybe to get one wheel off, do whatever you need to to the drive shaft to replace the seal and put it all back, then check and top up the gearbox - I'm no expert!
