ultamatic leaks

Greetings fellow Packard addicts

I have a 54 clipper with ultramatic drive and oil is leaking out of the speedo cable , I have checked the level according to the service manual which is " run the engine in neutral for 2 minutes at 800 rpm , then stop the engine and check within a minute " and it reads low of the mark . The box is performing well apart from the leak but given the leak is via the speedo cable , I'm thinking the oil level is to high . Have I missed something or done something wrong ?

Regards Chris
