Tranny seepage

[redphu72]

Please excuse my ignorance:

I was told that the car that I'm interested in has some minor trans seepage due to a worn or damaged O ring. Fixing the problem would involve removing exhaust, drive shaft and guibo. YOur input on cost of labor as O ring is a $6 part. What should I look for? Is this a sign of something more major? Thanks.

Is this a sign of something more major?

No, it's quite common. When it gets too annoying you just have to take care of the leak but it's not that big thing.

It's actually a seal, not an o- ring,

but almost every car leaks a bit from there.

As Tommy says, most of us don't deal with it

until there's another reason to take the exhaust,

etc off...

if it stops leaking - then yer gear box is dry!

so........ change the oil now so you at least know your starting

with filled, correct, clean oil in there.

Thanks for the tip. Any idea what it costs to change out the O ring if thats really the problem?
