Howdy gang!
My '59 BT7 has always had a slow transmission leak since I brought her home last year. However, it seems to have taken a turn for the worse. The weather was gorgeous in DC last weekend, so we decided to take the car for a few brief errands. Before we headed out, I topped up the transmission (which has overdrive) and off we went. Everything worked perfectly. Upon returning home, however, we noticed two lines of fluid stains on the pavement leading right into the garage. One was a steady line, demonstrating a dramatic leak, and parallel to it was a line left by something dripping. I checked the transmission fluid level, and she was just about empty. We covered probably no more than ten miles total.
I'm going to look at the angle drive, the rear seal and also see if everything is bolted up tightly (who knows what mischief the PO caused). But before I crawl under her, I wanted to ask if anyone had thoughts on the likely cause.
Thanks as always!
