[QUOTE="JJTL, post: 273936, member: 7883"] Fair enough. As I mentioned above, I thought creating a separate thread for the issue would be helpful to get more eyes on it. Here is the description I gave in the dedicated thread about the leak, and what I know so far. I'm in the process still of trying to track down exactly where it is coming from. [LIST] [*]Leak is clearly fresh 4 speed gear oil (gold in colour, not red like the ATF in the overdrive). [*]In changing both the oils in the trans and the overdrive, so far I have no evidence of the oils mixing. Clear gold colour. [*]Oil is leaking somewhere in the area between the 4 speed trans and the overdrive. [*]Oil is leaking down onto the top of the oil pan for the overdrive, and then rolls over it. [*]Don't see obvious leaks from the seal/gasket between the trans and overdrive, but hard to see. [*]Test drive didn't reveal any concerning noises, grinding or difficulty shifting. In fact it was all quite smooth. [/LIST] Thanks for your input! Josh [/QUOTE]
