The shifter cable lets fluid seep out and then it runs down and looks like it is the pan gasket. The fix involves removing the shifter cable and covering it's entire length with heat shrink tubing. Rob Grady has the tubing and when you order it he can give you pointers on how to do it. The final drive on all Deloreans seeps as the Hylomar that is used never seems to seal completly. The only fix there is to remove the trans, split the final drive and reseal with silicone. It isn't really too important as it doesn't really leak as much as seep so if you can live with a drop or two I wouldn't bother execpt if you had to do a trans job anyway.

My guess is that those that do probably are a result of age, use (normal wear and tear)or non-use. I have a minor transmission leak coming from my '83 automatic and it only has 3900 miles. Probably the result of very limited use. I'm told its the transmission pan gasket and the shift cable. As soon as I determine the specific part number for the shift cable (it apperas to be a hose of some kind that has a kink in it and you can see the tranny fluid seeping out of it), I'm having both parts replaced. > > > > senatorpack@xxxx wrote: > > > > >Has anyone experienced fluids leaks from their automatic or 5 speed? > > > >I have been told that "they all do that a little" > > > >Sincerely, > >Michael Pack > > > > > >Before posting messages or replies, see the posting policy rules at: > >www.dmcnews.com/Admin/rules.html > > > >To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: > >moderator@xxxx > > > >Your use of Yahoo!
