So after R&R of the motor/trans on my new 86 to pretty much fix a bunch of leaks, I had one overnight from the trans. What looked, and I still think was partly, the tailshaft housing gasket. The ONE common one I didn't replace while it was out. So, three or four five hour nights later it's replaced with (another) new seal and a bushing while it was off. Now I find a less but still hand size puddle overnight leak, that has me pretty bummed. It looks to me to be from the top front above the pan, that bellhousing looking front section that houses the converter, where it bolts to the trans main body. Does anyone know if this is a matter of pulling it and/or the front pump and replacing a seal of if it's getting into serious inside trans work? Have I mentioned I detest auto's and was only putting up with this so the wife could drive it? sigh.

On an up note there isn't a drop leaking elsewhere, not even a weep so far.
