I finally got the engine and tranny installed into my 6 conversion. I decided to install the shift rod today and ran into a problem. After securing everything with the shifter and moving it in and out of gear I later noticed a leak. I was so focused on other bits that I didnt see the leak until I went back under the car a few hours later. The tranny ran without issue many years ago...(15 plus years). I did not decide to open up the tranny prior to installing it into my conversion. Probably a mistake in hindsight. I remember changing the oil in about 1000 miles before the car got parked. Anyways...here is a picture of what happened today. I am hoping this can be addressed without lowering the package out of the car now that I finally got in there. Could it be a bad driveshaft seal? If so can it be changed where it sits...Could it have generated this leak as a result of changing gears a few times today after its sat for all these years? I installed the engine and tranny about a week ago and the leak only became visible today...so I'm thinking this isn't a coincidence. Dr Evil...are you out there?
