It most likely is leaking from the point you describe. Normally a rubber
plug provides a seal to prevent oil leakage at the point where the wires
enter the transmission casing. But rubber deteriorates, and this plug is not
available at any parts suppliers that I know of.
I tried several gasket sealers on my 71BGT OD transmission unsuccessfully. I
finally asked one of the employees at an auto parts store what he would
recommend as a solution. He suggested another gasket sealer, a Dow product,
designed for marine applications among other things. And it actually worked!
