I installed a replacement transmission in the 71.
I may have overfilled the trans. Would the excess trans oil leak out the axle and front seals or does the presence of leaks mean I need to replace the seals?? |

I suppose it's possible that, with only "a few drops", it could just be splash overflow from the vent at the top.
Don't waste the oil you put in, try the easy stuff first. Simply let the car sit on the ground level, put a drain pan under the transaxle, and remove the fill (top) plug. Let it drain until it stops pouring out (it's not an exact science, just needs to be around the bottom level of the hole) and reinstall the plug. Then drive it. |
