HPH, thanks for the reply.

I have no idea if, or when, the transmission may have been rebuilt. I did manage to replace the seal last year, not a simple task, but the leak is about the same.

Yes, I understand the complications involved with getting the shaft out. I think it will stay as is for now unless the transmission needs to come out for another reason, such as rebuilding.

Should the bolt be a grade 8 rather than a grade 5?

I think once the converter drains the oil level is above that seal, and is probably below when the car is running. That is, the leaking is probably occurring more when the car is parked than when it is running.

Oh well, a project for another time! Going after leaf spring next to see if I can level up the back of my car.
