Thanks for the advice Jerry. Have you tried that approach? My idea is to drain the oil out of both and then no more oil leak.


Well, back from vacation now. I put oil UV dye in the transmission. Drove to Bill's for a beer or two. The leaking oil is coming from the transmission.

The UV dye is pretty neat. The oil has a slight tint to it, but as soon as I turned on the UV light, it glowed light green. I discovered that I had dripped it all over my bench as well.

So I will be pulling the transmission soon to replace the input shaft seal.
