Trans Problem ???

My son (helping me) overfilled the trans by about a quart on my 86 coupe..Now it's leaking trans fluid while running..Should I drain out the extra and hope it did'nt blow a seal

..It leaks while idleing (car has'nt been on the road yet) from the filler tube I think or around there....About a spot 6-7 inch in diam..Looks like it's inbetween the engine and trans near the collectors...Noticed it under the car yesterday Evening..That's when he told me he filled the trans..I'll get under there today for a close look..Hope nothings blown

Yes, you need to remove the extra!

You Mean I can stick a hose down the filler pipe and siphon out fluid ?? Kinda like you do with gas..That would be great. The trans has allready had a filter change
