#8546, "explain this leak to me please becuase im lost"
So ever since we reinstalled my engine and trans a couple months ago i've had this tranny leak. From under the car all i could tell is that it was coming from the bell housing. So i figured it was the input shaft seal/bearing. I took the trans out of the car yesterday and put it up on my work table and couldn't tell where it was leaking from (no signs of a trail made by the fluid). So i set it up like it would sit in the car, popped the axles in, and refilled it. Didn't see it leak anywhere in the bell housing then i saw where it was leakin. The bottom 18mm bolt hole in the bell housing. The one that connects a bracket from the trans to the motor... it was leakin from inside the hole. This confuses the hell out of me. I dont understand why its leaking from there. The hole doesn't go anywhere near the inside of the trans or near any fluid. am i missing something here?
