I have those little nicks in my seal surface for the tranny. I put a new seal in and did all the clean up everyone recomended. My question is, how much oil is going to be hitting the back of the seal? If it leaked are we talking 2 or 3 drops or are we talking 2 quarts a drive? Just trying to understand the impact, or possible impact.
Thanks. Eric |

The tranny is splash lubed meaning as the gears rotate, oil is slung around inside the case.
No pressure in there unless you have one of the really rare racing car trannys with the tranny oil pumps to circulate the oil and cool the tranny |
