Ok Dudes. I only have 100 miles on my engine rebuild, and I put front and rear seals in the trany while it was out. I wet em pretty good with fluid when I installed them. I went to get coffee this morning, and to keep the normals happy, I lit it up as I left the BP station. lmao As requested. :-)
I ended up staying home sick today, but this afternoon I went to pay my insurance, and low and behold there was a giant puddle of fluid under the truck!
All I could see was a little fluid on the lip where the pan bolts up. I have since put a quart in, went thru all the gears, and have it up on ramps under the rear as I type.
Any ideas? I haven't seen as much as a drip since I added the quart.
Goin out to check on it.

update:
I had the truck up on ramps(under the rear) running in nuetral for about 10 minutes. My camhead friend told me that if I do that, it will tell me if the front seal is gone.
Well, there isn't even as much as a drip. WTH?! lol
Guess I'll take it for a lil spin and see what happens.
I had a 76 camaro that had a bad trany, and would erupt fluid up thru the filler tube. Then again, that car was such a POS the drivers door would fly open when you took a right turn! :lol:
Oh well. Let me know if ya'll have any ideas.
