Newbie question:
I bought a 74 914 w/ 2.0 a few weeks ago. It's previous owner turned me on to this BBS and a few other sites for useful info. I regularly use the BMW UUC Digest for info for my other cars when stuck with something I can't figure out.
Since I'm new to the Porsche 914 scene I'm still figuring out "stuff." Here's my situation: It's leaking tranny fluid from the fitting where the speedo cable enters the rear housing. Gasket is fine, but the hole this fitting goes into seems "larger" then the diameter of the fitting with the speedo gear in it.
Saw a thread on this BBS about checking the fluid level and someone mentioned that if "the breather hole was plugged, it would leak tranny fluid just about everywhere"
Where is this breather hole? On top of the transmission, where? And can I get to it without major hassle?
If that doesn't pan out then is it possible to use some heat resistant material to caulk this thing so it won't leak?
TIA
