Well volks, upon further inspection, it appears that the seal they replaced between the tranny and differential has completely failed. The ATF was coming from what looks like a vent on top of the final drive. When I opened the gear oil bolt, ATF came pouring out. The shop is going to have to tow the van to their place 'cause it appears there is no way I'm going to be able to drive it back. Thanks for all the advice - I wish it was as simple as the cooler. Peace, Marla '87 Westy Van "Morrison"
