My A833 is leaking some lube from somewhere around the gasket joint between the main case and tailhousing. I went through this with a Ford Toploader a few years ago and the problem was the bottom tail housing bolt hole was drilled straight through the case wall and wouldn’t seal up with just a bolt. I realized this after I replaced the tail housing pgasket (easy with a Toploader) and still had a leak. Ended up replacing the bolt with a stud and thread sealer and an oil pan sealing washer and nut.
Unfortunately removing the tailhousing on an A833 is considerably more involved than on a toploader. But if the bolt holes daylight into the case it may be worth trying to seal them up and see if that’s the source before tackling a gasket replacement. Does anyone know if this is the case (bolt holes in case are through-drilled?
