Hi...the automatic transmission drip is not coming from the pan as I thought (drain bolt). Recall the tranni is a MV9

Ok. Where the front of the drive shaft connects, there is a crossbar. Support I think. In the center of that there seems to be a bracket with a recessed bolt. I think the bolt holds it together with some kind of rubber block. It is that bolt that has a drip to it.

Could it be coming from the transmission pan gasket if there is a leak? I topped it off with some transmission fluid for high mileage transmissions with a stop leak additive.

Thanks

not to sound dumb, but i was told when i got my 78 delta, that it had a leak at the trans pan as well. he had some mechanic look at it. i took it to work and put it on my hoist, and found it was the speed-O cable. there is a small O ring that seals it all up, and my leak was coming from there. Now my trans is a 350 TURBO, and the cable is on the drivers side, the fluid runs down the cable, drops on the exhaust, and runs back a bit till it drips off..

For some reason the drip stopped. Strange.
