I can't figure out where fluid is coming out from could it be torque converter? I have fluid all over the place like it is slowly leaking out over time. There are drips all over tranny pan, some around bellhousing, back to my Spohn Torque arm. What could all this be coming from? Thoughts on where to check? I'm doing a heads/cam swap now, and when done am probably going to have it looked at.

It sounds like the vent tube which is clipped to the lines right above the transmission. Look for a long, skinny black rubber hose and check that.

I'm thinking more along the lines of the front pump seal could be leaking and when driving it could cause fluid to run to the rear of the transmission. But before you take it apart to figure out, you should clean the entire transmission and run it a little bit and pinpoint the exact location of the leak.

Sound like the front pump seal or the torque converter. Have you replaced the TC as of late?

I second the front pump seal.

How much should that cost to fix? THe TC is a yank PY 3600E tq converter. I'm thinking of having someone look at it after I finish putting new heads/cam in.

Also any tips on checking tranny fluid? Seems no matter how much I fill it, the damn dipstick doesn't want to show full. You know how your pour the fluid down the tube? I have to let it sit for a few hours before I get accurate reading, or else with just 1 qt of tranny fluid looks full. Any tips on replacing tranny fluid? THanks everyone.
