   One thing I forgot in my first post above...I also cleaned the vent hole
for the tranny, which I read is sometimes the cause of weeping and seal
leaking if it is plugged, and mine may have been almost plugged.....This
hole I found pics of posted on The Samba, I think...it's way up top on the
front of the trans and takes a mirror to see...  I used a drill bit turned
with my fingers to 'pull' the smegma out of that small vent hole rather
than poking it into the trans.
