I recently replaced a noisy drive shaft support bearing on my 1983 242 with 160K miles. Today I found transmission fluid on the garage floor. A quick look showed fluid and drips by the rear seal of the overdrive box on the transmission. When I did the support bearing job I marked the position of the flange on both ends of the drive shaft sure that I bolted everything back together correctly. I reused the old bolts when I put the drive shaft back on.

Is it possible that using the old bolts not new ones could cause an out of balance situation. I feel no vibration when the car is driven. Could it just be bad luck on my part. Any kick the correct direction would be appreciated.

Thanks
