Transmission fluid dripping out from around U-joints. Anyone got an idea what that could be from? Could it be the cap up in there that's leaking and it's running down from the U-joints. Just wondering if someone else knew.

This is from somewhere else.

I had a problem with the dipstick tube o-ring leaking on my TH350. Not sure if this is your problem, but worth checking into. _________________ 1981 Chevy El Camino 1991 Chevy S10 "The only thing collecting dust in my garage... is my broom" Back to top LIBAGMC_71Sprint Gear Head Necoa #: 12059 Location: 9(IN,KY,MI) Joined: Jul 07, 2008 Posts: 10 Year: 1971 Model: Sprint Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2008 11:20 pm    Post subject: Was just getting ready to ask about TH350 leak and that O ring. Any chance you remember the size or part number. My trans would leak if it sat too long then after sitting for about a month finally dumped a bunch. Went to pull the stick, tube came with lol!!!
