    Looking for some advice here.

    I have been battling a transmission leak on my 66 sportvan for a while now. I took the trans out and replaced both front and rear main seals thinking that was the problem. I drive it around the yard and what not, I park it and after a day or so there is a good size puddle under the trans.

    I can't even see where it is coming from to be honest. Is there any place to look for on these Powerglides?

    I'd suggest checking the dip stick tube. Pan gasket also. Fluid level rises at shut off.

    shifter shaft seal, speedo drive gear are possible leak
    areas, dry it all with brake cleaner and let it sit for
    a couple of days and see what gets wet. a shift seal leaking
    will also look like a pan gasket leak. hope this helps

    After 50 years of service, the pan can become deformed, especially around the bolt holes.
