Drivetrain Leaking torque converter seal

[LxJoe]

After cleaning the bottom of the trans chasing a leak I noticed that the leak was coming from the torque converter seal. Does anyone know of any good write ups on doing it yourself?

Funny thing is I reinstated this account after almost 20 years! Feels like a lifetime ago. I remember a guy named red LX on this page.

Is it transmission fluid or Oil
Either way you have to pull the transmission to replace the transmission seal or the main seal on the engine..

I’m gonna say that is a rear main seal leak and/or a pan gasket leak but like Limp said you are going to have to pull that heavy ass AOD to know for sure.

Ah that reminds me of my early days as a teen dealing with a rear main seal leak.
