leaking automatic transmission fluid not sure where it is coming from. Not sure what transmission I have. Car came with a 302 2bbl and I believe still original transmission.
I was told it might be the O ring where the transmission fill tube tits into the transmission.
Trying to find DIY video on how to replace the O ring or the whole fill tube with new O ring.
I have attached a picture that shows the fluid drips in one spot and pools into another place. I just happened to look at my drip pan Monday 09/17.

Drivetrain Thread 'C4 transmission leak question'

Aug 29, 2021
Hello all!

I don't have a classic mustang but I do have an old school classic mustang transmission in my Foxbody and I am hoping to get some help with a leaking pan.

My 1990 GT has a C4 transmission from a 1973 Mavrick with a 302. It was rebuilt a few years ago to go with my new engine. I got the engine and transmission in the car this summer and have been driving and enjoying the upgraded ride.

However the C4 has developed a leak from the pan. (or what I think is the pan) and I am having trouble tracking it down and figuring out how to get it to stop.

First I pulled the pan, check it...
