Drivetrain Trans fluid pouring out of AOD tailshaft

[evintho]

Just did a tranny service on my '93 AOD (filter/gasket/chrome pan). Got about 6 quarts in and I hear it leaking underneath. It's pouring out between the tailshaft and inside of seal! The front end is raised up. Tell me it's just because I have the driveshaft removed.....please! I'm not a big auto trans expert. Is that normal or do I have an issue?

Yes- front end up + no driveshaft = Leaky

Yeah, the seal on the end seals the fluid in against the driveshaft. No driveshaft, nothing to seal it against.

They do make plugs

Not stupidity, just 'now you know what you didn't know'
