tranny leak-where is it?

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

Dan that's news to me. May just explain why I have trouble keeping seals in.
Etka shows a sleeve in that location but it also specs two per transaxle.

You are right about the leak. Way back in the beginning of this thread we
had all agreed that a cleaning was in order. That's the only sure way to
find any leak.
