My 1982 Turbo sedan has the m46 with overdrive. Over a period of time I have replaced the fourth gear sensor switch, the paper gaskets between the overdrive halves and between the overdrive unit and the transmission case. The rear bushing/seal were replaced. The pan gasket was replaced and I am running Amsoil ATF in it. It functions perfectly but it still has a leak. The fluid drips off of the pan on the OD. But I'm having a difficult time locating the point it is leaking from. It leaked about 24 ounces in 3000 miles once I switched to the ATF. A few questions...

1. I am going to clean everything up and with the car on jackstands I'm going to engage the overdrive in 4th gear and carefully crawl under the car and look for leaks (again). Previously it seemed it was leaking some around the pan gasket. I seldom if ever use gasket cement of any type but perhaps I need something on each side of the gasket to insure a seal. Have any of you had to resort to that??

2. There aren't oil rings used on the bolts that hold the pan on are there?

3. Could the fluid leak out around the solenoid? Are there Orings that could be bad between the solenoid and the case allowing the ATF to leak by??

4. Anybody got any ideas??

Thanks,

Randy
