While we're on the subject, one other non-intuitive place to check for ATF leaks is the shift governor cover on the left side of the final drive unit. The O-ring there gets old, or some goofball "repairs" a cracked or pinched O-ring with red permatex (PO of my van, I am looking in your direction!), and it leaks ever so slowly, dripping down the side of the final drive and collecting on the bottom, looking very much like a bad seal between the transmission and final drive. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
