Hi All,
I'm in the last debugging stages of getting B382001465 back on the road, and
had a pecular fluid-dumping incident. After a brisk 50 mile ride in hot
weather, I parked the car and let it cool. Coming back several hours later,
a dishearteningly large spot of oil had appeared under the car. Upon
inspection, it was 90 wt. gear oil. Detailed examination did not reveal an
issues with tranny drain plugs or front or rear seals. The transmission
housing was oily from the mid-point back. I drained the remaining oil,
filled the box, and teflon-taped both threaded plugs. A subsequent equally
hot and brisk drive has proved dry. Where else on a Toploader can such a
large quantity of oil escape?? Since access is limited, I am hoping for a
non-dissassembly remedy.
Thanks,
Dr. Bugz
