ive just had a rear main seal replaced on my 95 t5 while it was in bits we noticed the auto box was leaking atf so it also has had some new seals
the trouble is it is still leaking atf only very slightly i have noticed the level on the dipstick is a little high are there any breathers or overflow the excess oil could come from also is the torque converter full of oil could this leak? or is it box out again for another look .
thanks for any views
cheers wellsy1

    The whole tranny system holds 8 quarts of Dexron ATF. The torque converter holds about 5 of those 8 quarts. There is no filter in the system so it's a good idea to add one, like the Magnefine inline filter, to the return line from the cooler (the lower line is the return line...). Can you tell where the leak appears to be coming from?

      hi the leak seems to drip from where the box joins the engine there looks to be a small machined hole there on the join ,its a very small amount dripping out ,the guy who done the job drained some atf out last week as it was overfull he said as there was too much it may a forced some out of the gearbox breather and may take a few days for the excess to stop dripping .is there such a thing as a breather on these boxes could it just be overfilling causing the leak .he said he will do the job again free of charge if it does not stop .
      thanks for the replies
      cheers wellsy1

      Hey Mike,
      When I install my atf filter, do I just close my eyes while I cut the top cooler line? There isn't much room under the fresh air duct. Will any atf fluid run out of the pipe, or can I just flush the tranny before I add the filter?
      I was going to do it last week, but we had a 3 day power failure and I am still ripping carpet out of the basement.
