It'll be the seal on the bung in the underneath of the housing, very commonly fail on the st170s. Just search for it on google and you'll find lots of info on it.
The replacement plug and seal is available from Ford, no doubt they will try and sell you the complete housing but don't be fobbed off!

i would remove the three bolts on it and pop it to the side, they have a nasty habit of cracking around the seal on the inner plastic lip that holds the seal in place, would check that aswell before buying the bung
