200-4R Trans leak, wheres it coming from???

[84hurst]

Got a 200-4R trans on my hurst olds and it appears its leaking from the little "weep hole" in the plastic inspection cover. Could this be a pump seal issue? Anything i can do to slow the leak down till fall? doesnt lucas make some stop leak for transmissions?

Make sure which oil it is. From that little hole it could be the front pump seal, or, it could also be the rear main seal on the engine. Both will leak from the same hole as the cover also goes behind the flywheel.

I've never tried the stop leak. I was always scared it would do more damage before I could get it fixed so I never tried it.

This is definetly pink trans fluid, i've heard the lucas stop leak is pretty good, so i'll give that a shot and see if it slows it down till fall.

ive used lucas before. it works for a little bit. i had a leak similar to urs and used it. it stopped for about 2 weeks then came back. when i dropped the trans it turned out to be the pump gasket. so if ur gonna drop ur trans just change the pump seal, gasket, and o ring since u got it out already.
