Default trans leaks after driving?
Hey guys so my truck runs and drives fine but when I stop and put it in park it leaks from the front of the trans where skater shield meets the trans leaks about a 1/8 of a quart maybe more then stops.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I believe its the input shaft seal but rather get Yalls advice.

Can get you a picture?

I had the same exact problem, turned out to be missing O Rings on the TCC/OD Solenoid Assembly...

Pulling the trans today will take pics and try and get them up later or tomorrow. Since I'm pulling the trans should I change the torque converter since I'm there or just leave it?

If it's not a budget buster, change it out. If you can, upgrade the thing, too. If you're not in a great rush and can wait for delivery, PATC's running a sale: Buy one, get the second at half price.

Mine isn't over filled but leaks, it has also not lost fluid. I think it get pushed around or it expands that some comes put of the weep hole. Mine drips a little but the level has been exactly the same for 3 weeks.
