Some (??) of the late alum OD trans had a seal that could be gotten from the outside , everything else was a disassemble deal to repair .

Contact Passon or Brewer and get a rebuild kit and go thru it , change the o rings on the side cover also . just an FYI clean the ends of the shift shafts very good , wire brush , file down any burrs and clean with brake clean and blow off before you pull them out , that way you don't gouge the tunnels they go thru and create a permanent leak point.

Real common when the bolts get over tightened or the retainer was used without the correct gasket and silicone.

The primary source seems to be coming from the shaft for the first/second shift rod. Can the o-ring seal on that shaft be replaced simply by removing the inspection plate or is a more extensive tear down required? I may have a secondary leak coming from the speedometer cable where it is crimped in the metal ferrule it runs through at the point where it attached to the speedometer pinion. It is hard to tell if this is a secondary leak or if the fluid from the 1st/2nd shaft leak is blowing onto the speedo cable and then running back along the cable. Is it common to have leaks occur around this crimped ferrule? Thanks, Bob

Also there is a seal inside the speedo pinion adapter on the cable side that may need to be replaced or is missing, there shouldn't be trans fluid getting into the cable .
