This link should take care of your leak: http://www.norcalbigdawgs.net/Gallery/album49

The speedometer bouncing sounds like it could be a bad cable. Measure the length of yours, make note of the ends (both on the T-case and on the speedo), and order a new one at GM when you order the part above.

You're welcome. I was just looking at this site last night because my NP205 is leaking here, too--I'm going to give this part a try myself.

There is a rubber O ring in the housing between the cable and the case housing. Pull this housing out and check the O ring.
