Well, the title says it all. This truck sat for 9 years and I have had to replace a bunch of seals and gaskets. I pulled the trans about 3 weeks ago to change the front seal on the trans due to a leak.

Got everything bolted back up and I still have a trans leak. If anything, the leak may be a little worse. It is dripping from the small hole in the bottom of the dust shield. The oil pan appears to be very dry. I can't get the dust shield off without removing or lowering the exhaust.

It is driving me crazy and I am having to park in the road so I don't get tranny fluid on the driveway. I am afraid someone is gonna come buy at night and slam into my truck. Any ideas?
