727 plastic vent

[hoover]

This last round with my tflite has it working pretty well, thanks to dvw!
While I was messing with the front pump plate i broke the plastic breather. I used a steel bolt on baffle from a 67 trans along with a homemade aluminum baffle on the inside.
Now it is leaking on the floor when parked.
I have one of those locking dipstcks.
The original style stick seemed as if it should breathe a bit along with the stuff on the front pump housing.
Now that i have sealed up the filler tube while having an iffy baffle i wonder if this is causing the leaks?

The first step is to determine where the leak appears to be coming from: bell housing or pan area?

Bellhousing.
I did replace the bushing and seal

You could have a cracked converter hub, damaged seal, or your fabricated baffle is not working as it should. None sounds like fun.

My car sprouted a bellhousing leak after I put a locking dipstick in .. came to the conclusion that is the problem. Car is parked.

I'd say put the good stick back in and try it out

The tip of the plastic breather fits in the groove on the front of the direct drum,it can pump oil at high rpm.
The earlier style pump with the sheet metal cover seems better. Myself I plugged the pump and put the breather in the extension housing. Never hurts to cut a notch in the rubber seal on the dipstick.
