Default Problems with a 2ltr auto Capri, Help really appreciated

Hello everyone.

Can anyone with superior knowledge help me? I have recently bought a 2.0l Capri with an auto box. I have completed a fair amount of work on the car and it is really starting to look good. I do however have a couple of issues that I could really do with some help on.

The first I think is fairly straight forward. The car has overrun on the engine when I turn off the ignition. This has only started happening since I replaced all the serviceable electrics. I think the timing may be out? Can this cause the engine to run on? If so does anyone know the timing settings for this engine?

The second is more serious. The auto box is leaking auto fluid (red in colour) from the join between the engine and the bell housing of the box. I suspect that a seal may have given up the ghost but I'm not sure unless I take the box off. So my question is does anyone have a diagram of this box and is there any replaceable seals? Is it a job that I can do? Oh and where can I get parts for the box?

Any help would be really welcome. Cheers Guys!
