Transmission Fluid Leak
I asked this question on the 67-72 board, but I thought I'd ask it again here in case someone with a newer truck has some experience with it.
My '76 has a TH350. After putting in a new engine, I noticed a pretty steady transmission fluid leak. I checked and it seemed to be coming out of the tail housing where the yoke enters the transmission. After almost killing myself (literally - its a long story) installing a rear transmission seal, the leak is still there. It leaks worst when the truck is pointing up hill, Which is why I always back onto my sloped driveway. I've been told that it could be the speedo o rings, but they look OK. It still looks like its dripping from the back end of the tranny.

Thanks for the link. The advice is EXACTLY what I needed. Now I'll just have to get over my truck-rolled-off-the-ramps phobia and get to work.
