My vacation so far.
Monday: Backed the 'Vette up on ramps, jacked up the front, dropped the trans pan, replaced the filter, cleaned the pan, painted the outside of the pan with valve cover paint (looks really good), buttoned everything back up.
Dropped the rear Y-pipe and mufflers, painted the mufflers flat black and the Y-pipe with valve cover paint, unbolted the rear u-joint, unbolted the torque tunnel on the diff. slid out the "prop shaft", replaced the u-joints, popped out the rear seal on the tranny, popped in the new seal, put everything back together.
Tuesday: Replaced the rear hub assemblies.
Wednesday: Replaced idler pulley, drained and refilled the diff.
Thursday: I'm sure I will find something constructive to do.
I love vacation!

Sorry, I was too tired from reading about it to respond. Took a nap. Feel OK now.
Looks like you cheated a local dealer out of about $3,000 and 3 return visits to stop the leaks. ATTABOY!!
