so my truck has a th350 i swaped in a few months ago, i got back from a four week patrol and checked fluids then went to town, i got to walmart and had a solid stream of fluid leaking out. i cant find any cracks near the leak, it drips from the front passenger side of the pan but its not coming from the pan, ive put a new seal on the pan and checked to make sure its still strait, any help on to where the fluid may be leaking from will be gratly apreciated thanks,
cody
 
the oring style dipstick tubes suck for sealing.

check it for a leak. if found there easy fix.

drain fluid and remove tube. clean 100% of oil and use black rtv and apply thin coat and reinstall. then apply heavy bead all around case and tube. take finger and smear it all around for good seal. let dry 24 hrs and refill and test drive.

if at all possible get the other style dipstick tube that takes the round rubber lip seal. thay seal like butter.

check for missing oring on kick down cable body to tranny case.
 
well the lines dont apear to be leaking and the tube seemed to be dry, so i guess i pull the front drive line and poke my head up to the cable seal.
