No, there's no leeks like that, I would've noticed that.
When I rebuilt it for the second time the tc already had a little fluid and I drained it as best I can . The manual says to add 8 litres so I added about 7.7 litres... I've been checking the fluid after warming it up by idling and driving around the block.
I know the hotter it gets the more pressure is created therefore raising the fluid level so now I'm assuming the proper way is when it's "freeway hot"... I can't think of doing anything else other than drain it a little more...


The trans needs to at full operating temp , parking brake set on a level surface and the trans in neutral with the engine running , look at both side of the stick when you pull it to check ,sometime one side will be higher than the other , go by the low side.

running up my post count some more .
