Not sure what to make of this - 66 Satellite 4 speed. I’ve driven the car 6 or 7 times and not found any transmission leaks (it does have oil in it). I moved it from one garage to another 3 or 4 days ago, running the car about 5-10 minutes in the process, and parked it. No transmission leaks or spots on the driveway. I went out this morning to start it up to take it to lunch and upon backing out I noticed a big puddle of oil on the floor about 10 - 12” in diameter. I would guess about 4 - 6 oz worth. It looked to far back to be from the engine and felt like heavy oil. Looked under the car and could see a drip hanging from the rear transmission seal area. Crawled under it and that’s definitely where it came from. The boot on the seal has a small hole on the bottom that I guess is an intentional weep hole if the seal starts leaking. Except for the one drip hanging from the seal it didn’t loose any more oil in getting the car back in the garage. The yoke and bushing feel snug - no excess play.
Probably just going to lead to a new seal - no big deal - but what would make a 4 speed all of a sudden, just puke a bunch of oil past the seal. And after it’s parked and shut down???
