Howdy all:
I've finally diagnosed my overdrive leak. Fluid is leaking at a serious rate from the freeze plug at the very bottom of the overdrive unit, next to the giant brass screw-in drain plug. When the tranny is warm, the fluid drips very quickly, so it's a serious leak.
It appears that it has leaked in the past -- the freeze plug bears the scars of being inartfully whacked with a hammer, and I suspect it's now pretty badly out of shape. I haven't been able to identify a replacement in the Moss or Victoria British catalogs. Does anyone have a suggestion for fixing the leak in an expeditious way?
Thanks as always!
