A couple months ago, I asked if anyone knew what could be causing a leak in my Synchro tranny where the drive shaft for the forward wheels comes out of the front of the tranny. There was one suggestion that perhaps a breather tube was clogged but Derek said this was highly unlikely due to the location of the breather tube. So... some time has passed and now maybe there is a new person on the list who could shed some light on this problem. I've had the seal replaced twice and I still have a weekly half dollar sized drop of oil on my garage floor. I am worried that this may be a precursor to a more serious problem. BTW, the trans is original and has 110K miles on it. Drew Jenkins 86 Synchro djenkins@foxboro.com
