Rear output shaft leak?
Could it be possible to have trans fluid leak from the rear main output seal are if the trans fluid level is too high? Doesn't seem intuitive. My guess it's most likely a bad seal or perhaps it needs some RTV between the seal and surface?
I just did a trans swap (replaced the seals on the trans as well), and I was trying to fill up the trans with fluid. Well I couldn't seem to get it to fill up/drip from the fill hole...and after some time pumping a small leak developed near the rear output shaft :cry: |

The parts-store ones all seem to be junk. But you say "near the output shaft", is it AT the seal? Or near the seal. Identifying where it is actually leaking is a crucial first step. |

I used a national rear output shaft seal. Part # 710818. Is that a decent brand? I have a SKF seal now to replace it, if I need to. It's leaking at the rear main output shaft seal.

From what I've heard National and SKF make quality seals, but probably not as good as OEM. I swapped the seal out with an OEM one and it's no longer leaking. Thanks
