I did a bad bad thing...Help please with my 4.6?

About 3 years ago I did the dumbest thing possible - I ran over a gas protection steel pipe! It punched a hole in my bellhousing but there were no leaks or any change in driving. I figured I just had an ugly hole!

Well after coming back from Tahoe in the snow just last week, I noticed drips of tranny fluid.

My 02 4.6 shifts fine and never had any issues at all...

I guess I am trying to have folks chime in as to if I should simply replace the entire tranny? Seek out the bellhousing? Possibly it loosened over time and hence the drip leak?

Any thoughts and suggestions about repair would be welcomed.

And yes I know it was damn dumb and it appears I am about to pay!

BTW I will be posting the childrens kidney on eBay soon! LOL.
