Wow...That is unintentionally funny as hell! I've changed the seal twice and used RTV; it holds up for a few months then starts leaking again. I'm thinking Oddly enough, I cleaned out the breather hole at the top of the tranny hoping it would help slow down the leak, and it accelerated it, leading me to believe that I just clogged the breather further. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'll report back when I get it un-snugged. Joe T.
