Another leaky spot
is the breather hole on top, towards the tailshaft. If you stand the
thing right up on end and leave it for a while, it'll ooze, as it will
if you let it flop onto its side after you get it all the way out and
onto the floor... Don't break the breather- some are plastic, some are
metal- as they seem to be getting hard to find. Were they used on any
other Nissan tranny?
I usually just drain the things. Gawd, does that stuff stink. Anyone
know exactly why? I hear it's mineral based?
