I think I know the answer - but seems a bit excessive.
The shifter cover was just removed and cleaned. Doesn't seem like the shift seal is the problem. Thanks  |

My 70 looked like that and really spewed fluid out once warm. Dropped engine. Both the output shaft seal on the trans and RMS were leaking. Did those and new clutch. Much better now. I won't claim it doesn't leak at all :-)
