I have the same setup in a Ford L9000 semi. It dribbles oil at the bell housing. I'd say maybe a baseball sized puddle if you let it sit and idle a while (like waiting a while in line at the elevator). It's done that for years. I don't take it more than a couple of hours from the farm so I just check the oil every once in a while. I checked it the other day at 1000 since the change and it was still fine. Other than marking its spot it's been fine.
The automatic is nice for a change. I haven't had any issues with it. I will tell you that 3208 with an automatic can sure be a gutless wonder. Especially when you put about 600 bushels behind it. I usually just pull out of the field, put the hammer down, and let off when I get to the stop sign in town five miles away. Sometimes I can get going over 35 on the hills. God help you if something steps out in front of you because if you stomp on those Ford air brakes you will have a broken neck before your brain ever processes that you stepped too hard.
I wouldn't be scared of it. Like everything, just make sure it's been serviced. The guy sounds pretty conscientious. Mine was a Pepsi truck so service records were available.
