Default Speed sensor leaking???
I have the 4L60E trans, i looked under my car and i seen that the Speed sensor it leaking, pretty good amount, and i went to Autozone to see if there is a gasket i could use to stop the leaking but it doesn't have one. is there anyone out there that is having or have had this problem and know a solution? i installed a stall in the tranny but it still leaked prior to the stall but not as much as it is now!!! HELP PLEASE!!!! i was think RTV sealant but that would look bad.

most sensors use a rubber o ring,,, replace it or use some sensor safe sealant.
