Thanks Russ.
Hopefully I should have time to change the pan gasket and the governor
o-ring tomorrow or Monday.
BTW, if the torque converter oil seal were leaking , would it leak all
the
time that the engine is running? I am asking because mine seems to only
leak
some of the time, although I am not sure what the conditions are. I
started
the engine and it leaked quite a lot, and then I couldn't get it to leak
again however I moved the shifter. I can't tell you what it does when the
car is moving and the gears are changing.
I was just wondering whether this might be some kind of indication as to
where the leak is coming from?
The torque converter seal will have pressure on it any time the engine
is running. I would try running the car up on the stands, and watching
it. maybe set the emergency brake a little for a little load on the
tranny, and watch it. Just be careful of moving parts while under there.
