4l80e pump seal leaking
first pic is between TC and pump. Looks wet. Tried to get my hand up there but didnt get far. It is trans fluid tho.
second pic its wet from pan seal and down. Drips off shift linkage bracket.
But someone on here will tell you to take the pump out and enlarge the drain hole and replace the gasket and pump o-ring. Not a bad idea. There was a thread not long ago where a person tried this and had a lot of trouble. If I remember correctly messed up the pump gear and ordered a new one and still had a hard time getting it back together.
And you also might as well do a full rebuild while it's out lol.
Seriously, drop it down, replace the seal, spray everything down with brake cleaner and put it back. It's a $6 to $8 part at the most and maybe a half a day. I'd clean the seal OD and seal pocket real good and put a thin coat of red loctite on the od of the seal and some grease or oil on the ID.
