Re: Fed up!!
JW Performance transmissions is near CoaCoa beach and has what you need to seal it up. If you need a dip stick tube they will have a good one. I use there stuff in my drag car and it has always been good. 321-632-6205

Re: Fed up!!
If your leak seems to come from the dipstick,clean your tranny really good on that side then run it till it warms up check for leak around the actuator cover just to the rear of dipstick on the same side as dipstick.Looks like a 3" dia. bearing dust cover.I had a leak similar to your description could not find until I did as described above after running truck hot parked it placed a clean cardboard under truck came back and traced to that cover.My truck also sat for about 10 years when I finally got it running I think it may have taken a hard shift and what resulted was a shatter shift actuator spring behind this cover.This spring acts as back pressure for shift piston behind cover also provides back pressure on cover from the inside to allow cover to seat on o ring to seal cover to actuator bore.Check this and see if thats where your leak is coming from.If it is all you need is a replacement spring if yours went like mine and a new o ring and maybe a replacement actuator cover if the spring shrapnel gouged a hole in yours.I got all these parts for less than 20bucks from a local tranny repair shop.They have tons of these laying around.That leak I also thought was my dipstick and or dipstick seal.I also had another leak that I thought was coming from rear tranny seal that one ended being a hole in the center of the trans drive shaft yoke,fixed that one with a 7 dollar seal also provided from tranny shop.Forgive me for sounding long winded but I totally understand your conservative angle especially with a little one on the way.I hope this helps don't give up and congrats on your new addition.Good Luck!!
