Transmission Leak
I've got an 87 automatic with a transmission leak. I think the leak may be at the joint between the fill tube and the case. When I was replacing plugs/wires, and new valve cover gaskets the fill tube may have gotten jostled around a bit. There appears to be a rubber gasket at the base of the fill tube. Does anyone know if this can be repaired without taking the whole darn car apart?? :confused:

Re: Transmission Leak (87Vert)
The fill tube is secured to the transmission by one of the bolts that holds the transmission t the engine. Remove that bolt and the fill tube can be pulled out from the top, and the rubber seal can be replaced.

Thanks for the part number and the warning!! I'm finding that repairing many things aren't as easy as they appear they might be.
