Hi- 1956 Ford, Fordomatic transmission, was shifting fine and still does, but has a faily substantial trans fluid leak that started after a 60 mile drive. All lines and connections seem tight. Any ideas how to start troubleshooting cause? thanks David Coco Winchester Va. _________________________ David Coco, Winchester Va. 1910 Hupmobile, Buick Model 16 toy tonneau, Hudson touring 1931 Chevrolet tudor, Pierce Arrow phaeton 1937 Cord phaeton 1938 Packard Super 8 convertible coupe 1953 Chevrolet pickup 1956 Thunderbird 1963 Corvette split window 1969 Cutlass convertible

If the transmission case is grimy, you should first use spray degreaser to clean it. The leak's source will then be easier to locate. Your might want to put a drip pan lined with clean newspaper under the transmission too. Keep us posted. Paul _________________________ Paul E.
