700R4 Question
Need some help with a tranny leak on my 1984 Corvette(93,000 miles). I resealed the pan and replaced the bushing on the linkage shaft. When I drive the car it doesnt leak at all. After I park the car and it sits for a couple days it will leak approximatley 1 pint before it stops. Any Ideas?
Thanks, Bill

Due to the amount that you specified, I would say that you should check the 2 transmission lines on the passenger side of the tranny and/or it could be possible that the seal for the torque convertor is leaking when cold.
Where is it landing when it leaks?

If it is coming out of the front of the trans, it may simply be a weak front seal. If the spring tension gets weak, it will allow gravity to push the fluid out that sits above the centerline of the converter. It could also be one of 7 or 8 places on the outside of the trans. Look closely to see where it may be coming from before swapping out parts.
