Transmission leak UPDATE 200 1984

Hi All,

I recently posted about a transmission fluid leak I was having that I hoped was a cooling line following a front end crash. After replacing the fender and front end components I developed the leak after a few days of being back on the road.

Turns out it is in fact coming from the bell housing. It's beyond my abilities, and my time constraints to take this on myself, and I'm not sure its worth it.

I've spent about $4K over the last 2 years and countless hours replacing suspensions, brakes, converting the a/c, etc so I'm invested and torn about letting it go. It's a love thing with the wagon, as you guys know, but this one seems like it could be the end. If the car was mint and had the leak I'd go for it, but it has rust repaired areas, faded paint, now repaired front end work (non-pro), but is a mechanically very sound car.

Thoughts? Advice? Tissues?

Sorry jorrell, my last message was read only so I had to start a new post.
