Re: 1951 engine and transmission oil leaks

if you are leaking transmission fluid, i would also check the torque converter for leaks, as there is an o-ring between the front (steel) and the rear (alum)of the converter, these transmissions do not shift from low range to high range, you will feel the change of the torque converter, and at about 25mph you should also feel the torque converter locking up too. the front seal is originally leather, from the front bearing there is a drain back hole, like the rear main of an engine, so there should be no pressure on the seal at all.
