Well, got my Volvo back yesterday and took it straight home to have a look-see. Everyting looked fine. I had cleaned the area around the weep hole and as far as i could reach around where the trans meets the engine before leaving to run a few errands. I probably drove around for about 30-45 minutes. When I got home I pulled straight back onto the ramps to check. Upon inspection, I noticed about one drop (literally) that had come driectly out of the weep hole and had kind of traveled (been blown) from the weep hole toward the back of the trans, in a streak about an inch long. I am wondering if this could be just residual oil from inside the area where the seal had been leaking that may have not been cleaned out after the reapair and is draining out. I plan on keeping a close eye on it every afternoon when I get home from work to see if it goes away/worsens. Any thoughts would be appreciated, before I decide to go back and discuss with the shop
