Should I let this Slide or NOT
Whats up everyone,
I just got finished replacing all the seals in my tranny and installing stage 3 clutch, 8.6 lb flywheel and skunk 2 dual bend ss.
Anyways what happened was i filled the tranny all the way to the top with Honda MTF and then screwed the filler bolt in. Then i realized i could not shift gears so i jacked the car up on one side to adjust the shift linkage. The car was not level so some MTF spilled out of the axle hole. Now there is a slight leak, im not sure if its just from what spilled out or what. i dont want the fluid getting on my header and cat and burning so i wiped off as much as i could.
now is there something i can do to ensure that the leak is fixed or should i just wait and see if the leak stops on its own.
thanks

Put cardboard on the ground under the engine and let it sit a while.That should help you determine if there is a leak or not.

Re: Should I let this Slide or NOT (IntegraLova)
the leak was coming from the driver side axle hole
i did put cardboard under the car and the leak is dripping very slowly so i dont even think there is a leak anymore. i think the oil is just running off from where it spilled out earlier
thanks for the input
oh and the bearings were in perfect condition when i opened the case, the were perfectly spaced and everything
