Michael,
Sounds familiar. What engine/gearbox do you
have? Ford? I have the Essex V6 with 4 spd and OD. I just had
my gearbox out for repair and find that it still leaks. It is important
that the top cover gasket seals well. Mine was not done properly and I had
to redo it. That solved some of the problem.........
It appears that there is a breather on top of the OD
unit. If the gearbox is overfilled, which I did, then it will throw the
excess out the breather, especially in hot weather. My leak has
almost disappeared at this point and the OD still works fine. I'm still
looking for the source but it is difficult with the gearbox location and
accessibility.

and I have a never-ending transmission leak. Initially, I brought it
to a transmission shop and they did a complete reseal. I parked it in
my garage, and a few weeks later I went to use it and there was a
huge puddle of transmission oil on my floor. I brought it back to the
transmissiom shop and they said it was the transmission oil pan
gasket, they replaced it and I parked it in my garage and the same
problem occured.
Since then I had the car at 2 other shops, and they both found the
same problem and tried to correct it to no avail(they used all types
of gasket materials). The last shop even replaced the transmission
oil pan and it still is leaking.
Note: It always seems to leak after the vehicle has been sitting for
a while.
Any help will greatly be appreciated.
Thank you.
Michael
