Default Transmission Question

Both of my shaft seals have started to leak on my tranny. Nothing to get too worried about... yet. They are leaking enough to start saturating the outside of the case, not enough to cause a drip... yet.

I already know how to replace them, not too big of a deal, aside from it taking up some of my time that I wasn't planning for. But I guess I am curious if anyone else has experienced this yet, and if so, do you recall what mileage you had on your car when it started?

none for me - only leakage for me was the rear main and trans pan - took care of both.

Nope, never had the CV's out of this one... but the forum I was part of a few years back, people there were suggesting to use Castrol Synthetic ATF+4 as an alternative to the Mopar stuff. I tried it, didn't care for it, and since have went back to the good Mopar stuff, as I should have... figured out the people on the other forum were a bunch of tards too, which is why I came to DF... I wonder if the Castrol I used is starting to catch up with me now...
