So after starting her up today I followed the manual and added more transmission fluid until full. After idling for awhile and being driven down the street and back I have a pretty good drips coming from the little home on the torque converter cover. From reading past threads I see this could be a failing front seal. Could this be the result of sitting since 1975 until 2 years ago? The drip stops pretty quickly after parking. Is this something I need to adress asap . I plan on doing what you did Howard, put a unused container under it after parking and just reuse the same fluid topping off as needed. I doubt the converter drain plugs are leaking, I snugged them up good after draining.
