Default Tranny leak
I have a 1988 with a 3.9l. Went to warm up my truck and i have a really big leak of tranny fluid on my drive way. It is coming out of what i think is the Torque Converter cover. 'Above the oil pan'. Is there a gasket or a seal that would have gone bad that would have cause the leak?
Thanks in advance.

Still is leaking. I checked all the bolts,they are tight. Filler tube is tight. Is my tranny shot? Or is it a gasket or a seal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

It could be the input shaft seal.
