[DML] Re: transmission leak

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I have replaced dozens of seals with no problem but, I recently did a 
similar routine to MY differential (an auto) and now it leaks all the 
time. I have replaced the seals four times! First time just an 
original seal replacement with no change in leak pattern. Second time 
I had some seals from Heninger. They seemed great - not a hint of a 
leak until about 1000 miles - then puddles. Third time I used 
original type seals from Grady and one NEW flange from DMCH - dripped 
constantly. Fourth time I installed Grady sleeves on old flanges with 
original type seals. Now on the right side the O-ring leaks, not the 
seal, and the sleeve on the left side seeps. I had a "small" puddle 
of oil after setting for three weeks in the garage - slightly better 
than when I started a year ago. I have tried to be methodical, check 
everything, but it just seems like I can't get it right..

I guess my point is - You're not alone!
