<x-charset iso-8859-1>My wife’s 73 Square seems to have sprung a leak. It seems to leak on the left side the left (or driver side) CV boot and drive shaft is wet as is the shock. I have been following the oil leak mystery string and I don’t believe it is X-mission fluid. It’s somewhat dirty under there and it doesn’t seem red. I have a hard time getting an accurate transmission level reading, as the stick just seems to have fluid down the one side of it. Any tricks on getting a better reading? I added a small amount of fluid to it. The engine oil was a little low less than one third below the top line. This is not a big leak but it does drip in the driveway. The top part of the engine seems dry around the oil cooler. It seems quite wet around the flywheel area. I suspect this could be a main bearing seal. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.
