Hi,

I got a CA18DET engine and transmission on eBay. The transmission was leaking really bad so the input and output seals were replaced. It's still leaking about 20 drops or so every time I drive it. Is there any other place that this oil could be coming from or is this probably just residual? I have only put about 100 miles on the transmission and it works fine.

pan, sensors, top where the boot sits, fill/drain plugs.

Seriously man trannies don't have many points to leak from. Oh that sounds bad

the section were the bell housing and gear box connect would be my best guess

Yeah, I was afraid of that. It's dripping from where the bell housing mates with the engine. Is there anything I could fill the transmission with, or do I probably have to pull it?
