Long story short. I drilled a hole and inserted a screw in to what I thought was the output shaft seal on my 2008 edge limited. As it happens, the seal was already out, (broken out in pieces by me because it was stuck) I was replacing the front passenger side because of a leak. So now its leaking gear oil. Is there any way to plug something like this, or will the PTU have to be replaced?? Thank you.

My 2008 ford edge limited was leaking transmission fluid and spraying all over the engine compartment. I finally believe I found the root cause, a bad output shaft seal. The original seal was still in there and thus stuck after 13 yrs. So I tried every conventional method and ended up just breaking it out in pieces. Well me not being too bright thought there was a 2nd seal in there, and that really took a toll. I ended up drilling a small hole and inserting a screw to grab ahold of and thus pull the rest of the seal out?♂️?♂️. Little did I know the seal was already out and I just created a hole in the wall rite where the seal goes in. So, im leaking gear fluid and feel like a D.A. My question is can something like this be fixed, or is a new PTU in order for this kind of damage?? ( for some reason its not letting me post pictures of this. I will follow up and get some pictures uploaded. Thank you for any and all of your help.
