So I noticed that a pool of trans fluid was forming under my 62 Belvedere (727 pushbutton trans). It was dripping from the parking cable box. I pulled the dipstick and it showed waaay overfull. Has to be the converter. Car sat for a while no drips, then plenty of drips. So I start the car up run it up to temp, check fluid, about a quart low. Top it off, fluid level in spec for hot. Go out this morning and no drips, fluid is on the line for cold temp.
What causes the torque converter to drain back to the case? Any specific seals? Just one of those things from sitting a while?
