This may be just a dumb question but.......I had my "shift shaft seal" replaced right after I got mine in December as it was leaking. Is that the same part you're talking about? If so, the part number on my receipt is 8-08644-709-0.....$8.35, and $98 labor.
I happen to have one of the remaining "authorized" Isuzu repair places near me, and who did the work....wonder if that has anything to do with it?
Just thought I'd mention this in case it's the same thing as yours.

Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
Here is a portion of my thread with the same problem back in 11/08. VX KAT is correct too above.
Thread:
Update for Trans. Fluid Leakage
Finally got the car back in the shop with one of my Porsche Techs and we cleaned the area and took a peek. Cleaned the whole trans and found fluid leaking at the left side pan area and spreading. The only other seal in that area is above the pan gasket called the selector shaft seal. We pulled the mode switch housing off and low and behold found a very aged and brittle seal. We cleaned the old seal out, which fell apart upon contact, cleaned area, inserted new selector shaft seal, remount mode switch, top up fluid and run it. No leaks. 2nd day now and still no leaks. Selector shaft seal part #8-08644-709-0 and less than 6 bucks! What a relief and no more pink fluid all over the garage catch pan!

Yeah, automatic tranny. I got mine at Tim's Toyota in Prescott AZ (they're the authorized Isuzu place and they used to have a dealership).
1-800-339-8467....and ask for "Isuzu parts".
I ordered at parts window, they called when it was in.
If you need me to order it, pick it up and mail it to you just shout. No prob at all, I've got the time and it's really close by.
I found this on advance auto parts site.

Found a bunch of different info on the item here is some of the stuff I found:
Amazon.com has a couple different options:
