Default Quick Trans Pan Seal

Trans pan has develpoed a little leak that will drip a couple drops overnight. I dont exactly have the time to drop the pan this weekend and I wanted to get by another week or two. Is there any way to give it a quick seal on the outside thatll keep it from dripping for a week or so

I wouldn't push it too long, dropping the pan and changing out the gasket and filter is cheap, fluid to refill can cost around $50 or so depending on what brand and how much you get...

A small leak can turn into a big leak in hurry. I was supposed to be in Virginia this weekend for my baby sister's 18th birthday, a loose/leaky TCC/OD Solenoid Assembly put that trip on hold.....

a few drops out of 12 quarts won't be missed. just keep it full and you'll be fine.

no quick fix that will work, but you might re-snug the pan bolts and slow it down a little. don't break them off, as torque spec is light, something like 15-20 pounds.
