I'm sure this is painful to watch.
There still was a leak from the transmission this morning, and since I'd tightened everything from the underside and there was a faint trail of oil from above, I decided to pull up the carpet and access the tranny from the top.
Lo and behold, I discovered a nice wet hexscrew with a hole in it holding the transmission cover.
It's obviously the source of oil below.
Why is this the only screw with a hole in the top?
Is it in the correct position on the cover or did I replace it incorrectly? (You know that's what I'm thinking.)
I found an older photo when we pulled the transmission to replace the clutch (which was been slipping due to oil leak). That was the first time I washed the clutch in 2013. That screw was in the same position, so it could have been the source of leaking oil back then. Argh.
Anyway I'm tempted to replace it with a screw that doesn't have a built-in leak hole.
Parts book lists 6 - 5/16-18 x 13/16 hexhead screws
2 - 5/16-18 x 1-1/2 screws
1 - breather screw for column shift cars (1803 included)
But where do they go?
