Took off dust shield to find leak and...

Seems with truck running i can see the tranny fluid run out by the center bolt hole for the shield. So i assume the front pump seal is leakin?

No fluid on convertor, just wipe away and it runs back down...A mess under the truck....

146K stock trans.........This keeps gettin better. Any suggestions?

fluid level proper? if so how about one of the stop leaks available that swell the seals to stop the leak? that is, unless you want to take it apart and replace the seal. someone that knows more about it will hopefully help you with this. good luck

Stop leak is more of a band-aid. It may stop the leak but doesn't fix the real problem. Also the stop leak would swell all the seals, not just the one that leaks. IMO I would find the leak and fix the seal.

stop leak should be called "stop leak for a little while and then leak starts back up WAY worse than it was before"
