Because of a bad input shaft seal. Replacing this requires that the transmission be removed from the vehicle.
If you mean dripping out of the of the tranny where the shaft slips in then the leaking is it
The rear, or tail shaft, of a transmission has a seal around the output shaft. The drive shaft will have to be removed and the seal replaced.
Axle shaft seal.Axle shaft seal.
No. The transmission is sealed to the input shaft and torque converter inside the bell housing of the transmission. It is possible to leak oil into the bell housing, but that will not migrate into the sealed transmission. If your transmission fluid looks as dark as your motor oil, a flush of your transmission may be in order. -Steve
No a rear main seal is the rear seal on the crank shaft of the engine. That portion of the engine is wear the crank shaft connects to the clutch and pressure plate (manual transmission) or where it connects to the torque convertor automatic transmission.
it need a new rear seal
most likely worn output shaft bushing worn
The most common leak points are the cooler hoses and the axle shaft seals.
No. could be hairline cracks or out put shaft seal not seated. maybe the pan gasket.
if you have a leak between the trans and engine it is most likely a front input shaft seal or front pump seal. you must remove the transmission to replace these seals.
Well a leak in the tubing, maybe it has corroded away?
There is no one answer. The entire transmission, all trans cooler lines, and the trans cooler all have fluid in them. Anything that contains fluid has the potential to leak anywhere. On a transmission there are a number of moving parts, such as input shafts and output shafts, each with a seal. That is a likely source for a leak, esp given the age of this transmission. Another likely source for a leak is the rubber cooler lines and/or the clamps. But really, the entire transmission body can leak at any seal or gasket. There are literally dozens of opportunities for a transmission to leak. The only way to find it is raise the vehicle and search out the leak.
