Leak'n Tranny, right where you screw the speedo Options

[Bruce Allert]

I gots oil comin' outta the place where the speedometer cable attaches. Not actually where it screws in but where the thingy goes into the tranny. I've tightened it at the housing but that doesn't seem to help and it swivels. I saw where an "O" ring is on the shaft via the Haynes manual pictures. Is this the seal that keeps the tranny fluid in?

Did the Hylomar thing..... tried a new "O" ring but the one I got was only a BCH too thick. Man, that clearance is tight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) the "O" ring I picked up wasn't that much bigger than the original but it wouldn't even begin to go in. I used the original & put the hylomar on the last 1/2" of the drive after cleaning the barrel of the tranny where the angle drive slides into. Checked it after driving into town & nothing dripped (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) I thought the hylomar would set up... it was still gooey after 3 hours.... hope this is what it does. oh well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
