83TD/Army,
Still leaks but only a little. Drove it about 20 miles yesterday and parked it overnight. There was maybe a teaspoon of trans fluid on the floor. I looked up through the slots and it appears to be on the center of the case and not around the bolts or pump case edges. I'm thinking its the torque converter seal and not the pump seal. At 27 years old and 313K miles, its time to change them. I dont think it was due to being overfilled by 1/2 quart or less. Dont these transmissions vent anyway? I would think that the slight overfill wouldnt create enough fluid pressure to make it leak...but not sure with old seals.
The leak is small enough that I'm not going to rush to do this job.
Also in front of the TC{towards front of car} there was a little engine oil where the case joins together{couple drops}. What would this be....rear main seal?? Again a very small amount.
Cleaning the underside of the car with 4 cans of Gunk helped alot to see leaks. The rest of the engine/trans is dry so that is good!
John
